Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly survived two assassination attempts amid escalating tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. Iranian MP Mohammadreza Rezaei Kouchi told the Islamic Republic News Agency that Khamenei was present during a strike on the residence of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, but escaped unharmed. He also claimed another attack targeted a hospital where the new leader was present, though details about the location were not disclosed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump suggested Khamenei might have been injured during early US-Israeli strikes. The absence of recent photos or videos of him has fuelled speculation about his health. (PC: X)
