Injuring<\/span> Iran’s Supreme<\/span> Leader<\/span> Mojtaba Khamenei<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>may<\/span> prevent<\/span> him<\/span> from appearing<\/span> in<\/span> public.<\/span> This<\/span> is<\/span> indicated by<\/span> the lack of<\/span> video<\/span> or<\/span> audio messages<\/span> from<\/span> the<\/span> Iranian<\/span> leadership.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> is<\/span> reported by<\/span><\/a> Bloomberg<\/span> , citing<\/span> a<\/span> statement<\/span> by<\/span> US<\/span> Defense<\/span> Secretary<\/span> Pete<\/span> Hegseth.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> the Pentagon chief<\/span> ,<\/span> only<\/span> a written<\/span> statement<\/span> was released<\/span> the day before<\/span> on<\/span> behalf of<\/span> Iran’s<\/span> new<\/span> leader<\/span> , Mojtaba<\/span> Khamenei<\/span> . The<\/span> address<\/span> did not<\/span> include<\/span> a<\/span> video<\/span> or<\/span> voice<\/span> recording.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hegset<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> this<\/span> may<\/span> indicate<\/span> a<\/span> more serious<\/span> health<\/span> condition<\/span> than<\/span> previously reported<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He<\/span> also<\/span> questioned<\/span> the<\/span> reasons<\/span> why<\/span> the appeal<\/span> was published<\/span> only<\/span> in<\/span> text<\/span> format<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“<\/span> There are<\/span> a lot of<\/span> cameras<\/span> and<\/span> recorders in<\/span> Iran<\/span> ,”<\/span> the US Defense<\/span> Secretary<\/span> said<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> Hegset,<\/span> the injuries<\/span> sustained<\/span> may<\/span> prevent<\/span> Khamenei<\/span> from<\/span> speaking<\/span> publicly.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The minister<\/span> also<\/span> stated<\/span> that<\/span> after<\/span> the death of<\/span> Iran’s<\/span> previous<\/span> supreme<\/span> leader<\/span> , the situation<\/span> in<\/span> the country<\/span> appears<\/span> unstable.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“<\/span> It’s<\/span> a mess for<\/span> them<\/span> .<\/span> Who’s<\/span> in charge?<\/span> Iran<\/span> might<\/span> not<\/span> even<\/span> know,”<\/span> he added<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Iran’s newly elected Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was injured on the first day of the US and Israeli military operation.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Assembly of Experts of Iran, at an extraordinary meeting, elected Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader<\/a> . He became the third spiritual leader of the republic after the death of his father.<\/p>\n
