Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the airstrike that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to Iran’s ambassador to Cyprus. Ambassador Alireza Salarian said Mojtaba was present during the strike on February 28 at the presidential complex in Tehran. He said the cleric suffered injuries to his legs, hand and arm. “I have heard that he was injured in his legs and hand and arm… I think he is in the hospital because he is injured,” Salarian told The Guardian. The strike killed Ali Khamenei along with several family members. Officials said Mojtaba has not appeared in public since because he is not “comfortable… to give a speech.” (PC: NDTV)
