An Iranian ambassador says the new supreme leader sustained minor injuries in the strike that killed his father. “It is not a serious injury and he is recovering,” Mir Masoud Hosseinian, Iran’s ambassador to Tunisia, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. Iranian officials have released little information about the condition of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, although an Israeli intelligence assessment suggests he was wounded in the war’s opening strikes. He did not appear on television Thursday when his first statement as supreme leader was read by a news anchor. Hosseinian also denounced the countries hosting U.S. bases in the Gulf and said they had exposed themselves to the conflict. “We will decide how this war ends,” he said |

Breaking! Iran is no longer the same Iran,’ says Netanyahu In his first news conference since the war began, Netanyahu says, “Iran is no longer the same Iran” and has suffered blows to the IRGC and Basij forces. Here’s what he’s said: Netanyahu says Israel is aiming to stop Iran from moving its nuclear and ballistic projects underground. Asked about Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and Hezbollah’s Naim Qassem, Netanyahu said he wouldn’t take out any “life insurance” on those leaders. He said Khamenei was a “puppet of the Revolutionary Guards” who could not appear in public. He reiterated that they can create conditions for a regime change, but that it was up to the Iranians to take to the streets, saying “at the end of the day, it depends on you. It is in your hands”. Netanyahu said he spoke with Trump nearly every day and that they spoke “openly”. |
