Mojtaba Khamenei Suffers Minor Leg Injury in US-Israeli Strikes, Iranian Official Dismisses Rumours: Report

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei sustained a minor leg injury during US-Israeli airstrikes targeting his compound, according to a report citing a senior Iranian official. The report said the injury was caused by the blast impact from a missile strike, while officials pushed back against wider speculation surrounding his condition.

According to the report, Azim Ebrahimpour said Khamenei was on the compound grounds when the attack occurred and suffered light injuries linked to the explosion’s shockwave. He reportedly dismissed broader claims about the Iranian leader’s health as inaccurate and suggested such narratives were intended to fuel internal divisions.

The latest claim adds to conflicting reports that have circulated in recent weeks regarding Khamenei’s physical condition following the strikes. While some accounts have described only minor injuries, other reports have suggested more serious wounds, though these claims remain disputed.

Questions over Khamenei’s health have intensified amid his limited public visibility since the attacks. The absence of detailed official disclosures has contributed to continued speculation, even as Iranian-linked sources have maintained he remains active and capable of carrying out leadership duties.

The report comes amid ongoing scrutiny over the aftermath of the strikes and the broader regional fallout, with attention now focused not only on Iran’s military response but also on the condition and role of its top leadership.
