Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ‘Disfigured’ After US Strikes? Pentagon Drops Explosive Claim

Fresh questions are emerging about the condition of Mojtaba Khamenei after recent US-Israeli strikes. Speaking at the United States Department of Defense headquarters, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader may have been “wounded and likely disfigured” during the att*cks. Hegseth pointed to the absence of any video or audio message from Khamenei, noting that his first statement appeared only in written form — raising speculation about his condition and stability within Iran’s leadership. With thousands of targets reportedly struck and tensions rising across the region, the claim adds a dramatic new twist to the escalating confrontation involving the United States and Israel.
