On Monday, President Trump speculated extensively about the whereabouts of Mojtaba Khamenei, noting that his absence from public view has raised questions. This comes as new audio suggests that the Iranian supreme leader initially survived the attack that claimed his father’s life last month.
“There’s a lot of chatter suggesting he’s severely injured,” Trump remarked to reporters in the White House East Room. “Some say he lost a leg and is in critical condition. Others believe he might be dead,” he added.
