Trump says US does not know if Mojtaba Khamenei is alive

Mar 16, 2026, 17:08 GMT+0

President Trump said on Monday the United States does not know whether Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is dead or alive.

"This one we haven't seen at all. So that could be for a lot of different reasons. We don't know if he's dead or not."

"A lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured. They're saying that he lost his leg, one leg, and he's been hurt very badly. Other people are saying he's dead. Nobody's saying he's 100% healthy," he said.
