Mojtaba Khamenei, aged 56, sustained a bruise around his left eye and superficial facial wounds during the airstrike that killed his father, along with five other family members. The Iranian ambassador to Cyprus indicated that the new leader’s silence since his appointment is due to these injuries, stating that he is not in a comfortable position to give a speech. Sources close to the administration confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured but reassured that he is “well and there are no fears.” In the absence of new footage, state media utilized archival material and artificial intelligence-generated images to cover his appearances. Observers note that the new leader, while not a senior cleric, maintains close ties with the Revolutionary Guard and the regime’s economic elite, and is considered to be no less severe than his father, and potentially more so.
