Iran’s new supreme leader injured but ‘safe and sound,’ president’s son says
Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been injured but is “safe and sound,” the son of President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday, offering one of the few official explanations for his absence from public view since being appointed last week.
Yousef Pezeshkian, who is also a government adviser, wrote on Telegram that he had asked contacts about reports of Khamenei’s injury and was told he was safe.
"I heard news that Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who had connections. They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound," he said.
