US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says he believes Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is wounded.
"We know the new so-called, not-so-supreme leader is wounded and likely disfigured," Hegseth tells a press conference.
Khamenei issued a written statement on Thursday but has remained in hiding since taking over from his father Ali Khamenei, who was killed in bombing at the start of the US-‘Israeli’ war against Iran on February 28.
Iranian officials have confirmed the new leader is wounded but have given no further detail.
