A major update has been provided on Iran's new Supreme Leader, who has reportedly not been seen in public since his appointment on Sunday. Mojtaba Khamenei suceeded his late father Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a joint US-Israel airstrike at the end of last month

However, since been appointed at the weekend, Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly not been seen in public, leading to questions over his whereabouts as the US and Israel intensify their attacks on Iran as tensions in the Middle East skyrocket. Israel's ​intelligence assessment is that Iran's ‌new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was lightly wounded in the Israeli-U.S. joint air war ​against Iran, a senior ​Israeli official told Reuters. Iran's Revolutionary ​Guards forced through the choice of Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader, ​seeing him as a more ​pliant version of his father who would back ‌their ⁠hardline policies. The new supreme leader has not been seen ⁠in ​public since his appointment three days ago.
