Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son has been wounded in the Iran war, it emerged today after he was named as the country's new Supreme Leader.
Mojtaba, 56, the second son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was announced as his successor on Sunday after being appointed by the regime's 88-person assembly - despite previous opposition from his father.
The 'vengeful' hardline cleric is already marked for assassination by Israel after it vowed to 'eliminate' whoever succeeded the slain Ayatollah, having killed him and Mojtaba's wife Zahra Haddad-Adel in strikes on the first day of the conflict.
In one report on his ascension to Supreme Leader on Iranian state TV, it refers to him as being wounded in the war.
The anchor describes him as 'janbaz', or wounded by the enemy, in the 'Ramadan war,' which is how media in Iran refer to the current conflict.
It does not elaborate on how he was injured, although his wife and father were killed in Israeli strikes on Tehran.
An analyst on air later suggested Khamenei's wounding could have been during his service in the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, although the differing accounts could not be immediately reconciled.
The report also claimed that Mojtaba, who has not been seen in public since the beginning of the war, is fluent in English, and has completed psychology courses.

Injured? Probably a lie, to enhance his heroic resume. As the Ayatollah who Trump could not kill.
They still don’t get it.
Israel is done having Iran being run by terrorists.
Jim? Is he dead?
He'll live long enough to spit more bile and injure more random victims.
He’s dead. Whether it’s from external sources or internal disagreement between competing power bases is anybodys guess.

He’s dead Jim
This sounds like a a “Limited Hangout”.

“Mojtaba...is fluent in English, and has completed psychology courses.”
Oh, psychology classes—who knew they were the secret sauce for ascending to god-emperor status?

When does the US sieze all $100M in real estate assets in England. Auction them off and give the funds to the dead and wounded US service members and families.
“Israel is done having Iran being run by terrorists.”
Israel isn’t alone. Pretty sure China and Russia are likely the only ones who want Iran the way it’s been the last 47 years. Maybe add the NorKs. It’s painfully obvious to the most casual observer that Trump and Netanyahu are convinced any kind of appeasement is counterproductive.
Injured? Did the goat back up.
That's the current requirement of virgins for the "Supreme Counci" of Mullahs. There's a backlog in the onboarding process.
Probably was hurt. Multiple accounts and sources say this. Some thought him dead.
Wounded....so he most likely is in a hospital. They probably think he’ll be safe there.
missilitis hard to cure
FTA “ A ‘river of fire’ engulfed Tehran following heavy Israeli shelling on the city overnight on Sunday.”
Shelling?
Badly written article or are they claiming Israel has artillery hitting Iran?
Great reporting there.
“When does the US sieze all $100M in real estate assets in England.”
The UK Daily Mail said this Moujtaba pos has this much squirreled away in the UK. Plus he has had two long UK visits to see the UK penis docs. Erectile dystopian.
