The Iranian state press has released a new message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, although he has not been seen or heard in public since taking office, fueling speculation about his health status.
The Iranian state press published on Sunday, March 29, a message attributed to Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, in which he reportedly expressed his gratitude to the Iraqi people for their support in the conflict with the United States and Israel. The Iranian authorities did not provide details about how the message was transmitted, avoiding clarification whether the leader communicated personally or through representatives, notes The Guardian.
This represents the most recent communication attributed to Khamenei since taking office, over three weeks ago, a period during which he has not been seen or heard in public. His absence has raised questions, considering that he would have been injured in the air attack coordinated by the USA and Israel, which killed his father, the former ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his wife and son, on the first day of the conflict.
According to Iranian reports, the message would have been transmitted to an Iraqi official following a meeting between the President of the Supreme Islamic Assembly of Iraq and the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad.
In recent weeks, several written statements attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei have been exclusively disseminated through state media, without any visual or audio confirmation. This has raised questions about the severity of his injuries. Recently, Donald Trump stated that the supreme leader “is either dead or in a very serious condition, because no one has heard anything about him”, but Iranian officials dismiss these speculations.
