US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had informed him that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was gay.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Trump said, “Well, they did say that, but I don’t know if it was only them,” when asked about the claim. He added, “I think a lot of people are saying that,” and said it put the leader off to a “bad start” in Iran, where homosexuality is illegal.
