Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, released his first statement Thursday — after reports circulated that he was in a coma and had his leg amputated after being severely injured in the US-Israeli strikes that killed his father.
The message was read out on Iranian state TV by an anchor as an image of Khameni was displayed.
