US President Donald Trump has questioned whether Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is even alive, fuelling fresh speculation about the cleric’s condition as the war between the United States, Israel and Iran intensifies across the Middle East.
In an interview with NBC News on Saturday, Trump said he had seen no clear evidence that the 56-year-old leader remains alive, noting that Khamenei’s first message after assuming power was delivered in writing rather than through a public appearance.
