Mojtaba Khamenei health status addressed by Iranian President
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in good health following a recent seven-hour meeting. During the discussion, Khamenei reportedly emphasized the necessity of national unity and solidarity. Other key topics addressed included employment, housing, and the economic impact of international sanctions.
This announcement follows the release of a rare video by the state-linked Mehr News Agency, which shows the 56-year-old leader appearing healthy while sitting with a group of men. However, the footage has faced scrutiny because it lacks a specific date or location.
Observers have noted that the video does not show signs of the serious facial and leg injuries Khamenei was reportedly sustained during a February 28 strike that killed his father, Ali Khamenei. This has led to speculation that the footage may have been recorded prior to the incident, potentially undermining efforts to confirm his current physical condition.
