Earlier, the Reuters news agency reported from a senior Israeli official that an Israeli intelligence assessment states that Khamenei Jr. was slightly injured during the joint air strike by Israel and the United States against Iran and therefore has not been seen in public until now.
Moreover, a presenter on state television hinted that Khamenei may have been injured in the American-Israeli strikes in which his father was killed on February 28, and called him an “IDF wounded” (Janbez) of the “Ramadan War” – the Iranian nickname for the current conflict. His thunderous silence and security concerns may explain his absence from the public eye.
“I heard the news that Mr. Mujtaba Khamenei was injured,” Pazkhian, who also serves as a government adviser, wrote on his Telegram channel. “I asked some friends who have connections and access to the high windows, and they told me that thank God, he is safe and sound and there is no problem.”
