Mojtaba Khamenei Thanks Iraq for Support During War in Rare Message Since Becoming Supreme Leader
Mojtaba Khamenei expressed gratitude to Iraq for its support against US and Israeli forces amid ongoing health concerns and lack of public appearances.
- On Sunday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei thanked Iraqi people and religious leadership for supporting Iran against "aggression," though state media provided no evidence the leader is alive or explained how the message was conveyed.
- Khamenei has not appeared publicly since suffering injuries during the US-Israeli airstrike that killed his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on the war's first day more than three weeks ago.
- US President Donald Trump claimed the leader is "either dead or in very bad shape, because no one has heard from him," citing intelligence suggesting severe injuries sustained in the war's initial days.
- Sources suggest the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may be controlling Iran rather than the leader himself, with one well-informed source stating, "The more likely scenario is that the Revolutionary Guards are controlling him."
- Speaker of Iran's Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Iranian armed forces are prepared to "set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever" in anticipation of a potential ground invasion by United States troops.
