Iran Confirms New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Is “Safe and Healthy” Amid Injury Rumors

An adviser to the Iranian government has stated that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is “safe and healthy,” dismissing circulating reports suggesting that he was injured during the recent escalation involving the United States and Israel.

The statement came from Yousef Pezeshkian, a government adviser and the son of Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian. Writing on Telegram on March 11, Pezeshkian said he personally looked into the rumors after hearing claims that Mojtaba Khamenei had been wounded.

“I heard reports that Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured,” he wrote. “I contacted friends who are familiar with the situation, and they confirmed that he is safe and healthy, thanks to God.”

Despite this reassurance, speculation intensified after Iranian state television referred to Mojtaba as “Jaanbaz,” a Persian term commonly used to describe a soldier who has been wounded in battle.
