Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth said on March 13 that the US military was aware of the injury of Iran's new supreme Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. According to him, the new supreme leader of Iran is allegedly "wounded and disfigured." The next day, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araqchi, denied this information and said that Mojtaba Khamenei was fulfilling his duties and everything was fine with him.

The new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, delivered his first address to the nation after taking office on March 12. The text of the appeal was read out in a female voice and broadcast on television. In his speech, the new ayatollah promised not to give up revenge for the blood of the martyrs, stressing that it was not only about the death of the previous leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
