Iran says Supreme Leader “completely healthy” after airstrikes

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was not injured in recent US and Israeli airstrikes, stressing that his absence from public view during wartime should not be seen as unusual.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — who was killed in an airstrike at the beginning of the war—is “completely healthy.”
