Mojtaba Khamenei issued a written message thanking Iraq and its top cleric Ali Sistani for supporting Iran during the ongoing conflict, but his continued absence from public view has intensified speculation about his condition. Since assuming leadership after Ali Khamenei’s death, he has not appeared publicly, with communications limited to written statements read by others. Officials suggest he may be recovering from injuries, though unconfirmed. Donald Trump has cast doubt on his status. The lack of visibility raises questions about leadership stability amid escalating regional tensions. (PC: X)
