Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was severely wounded in the late February airstrike that killed his father in Tehran and has lost a leg and suffered 'severe and disfiguring' injuries, according to people close to his inner circle cited in a new report.
According to three people described as close to Mojtaba Khamenei's inner circle, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, the 56-year-old survived the strike but was left badly disfigured. He has extensive facial injuries and is missing a leg. A separate source familiar with US intelligence assessments backed up the claim that he had lost a limb while recovering from the attack that decimated much of Iran's top brass.
