Iran‘s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has reportedly been wounded in the ongoing conflict; a major development coming just days after his appointment. Iranian state television referred to him as “janbaz,” meaning “wounded by the enemy,” in what they are calling the “Ramadan war,” though the report did not explain how he was injured.
According to Daily Mail, An analyst speaking on air later suggested the wounding may have happened during Mojtaba’s service in the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, leaving conflicting accounts that could not be immediately confirmed. Mojtaba has not been seen in public since the current conflict began. His wife, Zahra Haddad-Adel, and his father were both killed in Israeli strikes on Tehran.
