BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 11. Iran's new Supreme
Leader Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and has no problems, Yousef
Pezeshkian, son and advisor to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian,
said on his social media account, Trend reports.
According to him, after hearing the news about the injury of
Mojtaba Khamenei yesterday, he received information about this from
friends who were in contact.
On March 10, information was spread in foreign media that
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously injured.
On February 28, the U.S., along with Israel, launched a military
operation against Iran. Several cities in the country, including
the capital, have been attacked. In response, Iran has launched
missile and drone strikes against Israel and U.S. military bases in
the Middle East.
Since the U.S. and Iran failed to reach a concrete agreement in
the talks on their nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched
military airstrikes on Iran on February 28. In response, Iran has
been attacking Israel and U.S. military facilities in the region
with missiles and drones since that day.
The February 28 airstrikes killed Iran’s Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military
officials. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of Experts unanimously
elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader, as
the country’s third Supreme Leader.
From March 1 through 5, the conflict escalated further, drawing
in multiple countries across the Middle East. The U.S. side's
losses were reported to be eight dead and more than 140
injured.
The ongoing conflict has significantly threatened the region’s
energy infrastructure and maritime transport. Oil prices have
surged on global markets due to heightened security tensions around
the Strait of Hormuz, prompting several countries to advise their
citizens to leave the region.
