Claims About Iran’s New Supreme Leader

Recent intelligence reports suggest that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay. This information was shared with President Donald Trump last week, leading to laughter among Trump and several intelligence officials, according to sources. One senior official reportedly found the briefing so amusing that it stuck with them for days. Despite the chuckles, U.S. sources consider the allegation to be credible, as reported by the New York Post. A source indicated that the information comes from “one of the most protected sources in the government’s possession.”

According to the Post, Khamenei had a “long-term sexual relationship” with a former tutor and allegedly made “aggressive” sexual advances toward individuals under his care. Released U.S. diplomatic cables from 2008 also provide context, indicating that the new leader married later in life and underwent treatment in Britain for “problems with impotence.” The late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is said to have suspected his son’s sexual orientation and worried it would undermine the leadership of the Islamic Republic, where homosexual acts are illegal.

Mojtaba took over as supreme leader on March 8, following his father. In previous remarks, Trump described him as a “lightweight,” which apparently didn’t sit well. Strangely, the new Ayatollah did not appear at his own inaugural speech, instead releasing a written statement. This prompted speculation from Trump, who quipped, “No one has ever been able to see him.”

During the first day of Operation Epic Fury, reports state that Mojtaba was wounded, alongside his family members, including his wife, mother, and sister, who were also killed. He allegedly suffered a broken leg, bruises, and cuts to his face. In other unverifiable claims, it has been suggested that he might have lost at least one leg or even be in a coma. There are unconfirmed reports suggesting that he is receiving treatment in Russia.
