Mojtaba is reportedly in bad shape, but alive and mentally alert.
Iran’s new Supreme Ruler, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, hasn’t been seen or heard since his appointment in March.
Power is being exerted by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders on matters of security, war, and diplomacy.
TheNew York Timeshas published a new report on Mojtaba’s health woes:
“Mr. Khamenei, who was selected by a council of senior clerics as the new supreme leader, has been in hiding since American and Israeli forces bombed his father’s compound on Feb. 28, where he also lived with his family. His father, wife and son were all killed.”
Mojtaba Khamenei has undergone three surgeries on one leg and may require a prosthetic.
He is recovering from hand surgery, while severe burns to his face and lips have made speaking difficult. Plastic surgery is expected.
