Trump: “Nobody’s Seen the Ayatollah - We Don’t Know if He’s Alive”

President Donald Trump said uncertainty surrounds Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, telling reporters that “nobody’s seen the Ayatollah” and adding, “we don’t know if he’s alive.” Trump suggested the lack of public appearances has raised serious questions about the condition of Iran’s leadership during the ongoing conflict. Khamenei has not appeared publicly since the str*kes that k*lled his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, fueling speculation about whether he was injured in the same operation. Iranian officials insist he is alive and governing, but the absence of proof-of-life has intensified global scrutiny of Tehran’s leadership situation.
