Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel Says Iran's New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei 'Lightly Wounded'
Caption: Israel Says Iran’s New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ‘Lightly Wounded’. Israel believes Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei was lightly wounded during recent attacks, according to a senior Israeli official. Israeli intelligence reportedly thinks his injury explains why Khamenei has not appeared publicly since taking power three days ago. Reports citing Iranian sources also suggest he was injured during the opening day of the war that followed U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. Officials say Khamenei is avoiding public appearances partly to prevent communications that could reveal his location. Khamenei succeeded his father Ali Khamenei after he was killed during the conflict. Donald Trump criticized the appointment, saying he was unsure whether the new leadership would last. Meanwhile the Israel Defense Forces announced a new “wide-scale wave” of strikes against Iranian infrastructure. Israeli attacks have also targeted Hezbollah positions in Beirut, where hundreds have reportedly been killed since the war began.
