Yousef Pezeshkian, the son of Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, has said the country’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is safe following reports that he had been injured.
He disclosed this in a post on Telegram, saying he had “heard reports” that the supreme leader had been injured and moved to verify them.
“I asked several friends who had relevant contacts, and they said that: by the grace of God, he is safe and there is no problem,” he said.

Mojtaba Khamenei was named Iran’s Supreme Leader after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed during the campaign involving the United States and Israel.
Iran announced his appointment early Monday through state-run media after the Assembly of Experts — an 88-member body of senior clerics responsible for choosing the country’s leader selected him for the role.
It was only the second time the body had made such a decision since the Iranian Revolution. The first was when Ali Khamenei was chosen to succeed Ruhollah Khomeini following his death more than three decades ago.
