Hegseth reports injury of Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claimed that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been injured in U.S.-Israeli attacks, stating he is “wounded and likely disfigured.” Hegseth’s comments come after Khamenei issued a written statement vowing to retaliate against U.S. bases unless they are closed. The Pentagon did not provide evidence for Hegseth’s claims, while Iran reported over 1,400 casualties from the ongoing conflict.
