Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is reportedly still recovering from serious facial and leg injuries sustained in the airstrike that killed his father at the start of the conflict, according to three people close to his inner circle speaking to Reuters. Khamenei's face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader's compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said, as reported by Reuters. The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues, including the war and negotiations with Washington, two of them told Reuters.
