Mojtaba Khamenei engaged in war decisions despite injuries - Reuters

Apr 11, 2026, 08:52 GMT+1

Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is engaged in decision-making on major issues including the war despite serious injuries, three people close to his inner circle told Reuters.

They said Khamenei was taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and remained “mentally sharp” as he recovers.

He suffered severe facial and leg injuries in an airstrike that killed his father earlier in the conflict, with one source saying his face was disfigured.

Khamenei’s condition and whereabouts have not been publicly confirmed since the attack.
