US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he believes that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive. His remarks come after months of speculation regarding Mojtaba’s whereabouts as he has not been seen or photographed even once since taking over the Supreme Leader role following his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s assassination in a joint US-Israeli strike.
“I don’t think he is dead. He was very seriously wounded. The left side of his body, the arm, the leg, the whole thing, but I don’t think he is dead,” Trump said in a telephonic interview with radio host Glenn Beck.
The US President also added that if the Supreme Leader is indeed not alive, “they (Iran) are putting on a very good show.”
Where is Mojtaba Khamenei?
It has been six months since Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran’s Supreme Leader. His absence from public life amid the ongoing US-Iran war had fueled speculation that he is either dead or not fully in command.
