President Donald Trump told reporters today that he does not know if Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei — who hasn’t appeared in public in the days since the announcement of his appointment — is even alive, APA reports citing CNN.
“I mean, a lot of people are saying that he’s badly disfigured — they’re saying that he lost his leg, one leg, and he’s, you know, been hurt very badly, other people are saying he’s dead, nobody’s saying he’s 100% healthy,” Trump said in the East Room of the White House
“So that could be for a lot of different reasons. We don’t know … if he’s dead or not. Now that he’s announced, I will say there’s, nobody’s seen him, which is unusual,” the president continued.
