How injured is the ayatollah? US and Iran push opposite health claims

Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei was hurt in the airstrike that killed his father and predecessor in February. The regime says he is in perfect health

Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is probably still alive and hiding in a bunker, Binyamin Netanyahu has said amid speculation over the new Iranian supreme leader’s health.

“I think he is alive. What his condition is, it’s hard to say, you know? He’s holed up in some bunker or in some secret place,” the Israeli prime minister told 60 Minutes. He added, however: “I don’t think he has the same authority that his father [had].”
