US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that Iran's new "so-called not-so-supreme leader", Mojtaba Khamenei, is likely wounded and "disfigured" following US-Israeli strikes. "Iran’s leadership is in no better shape, desperate and hiding. They have gone underground, cowering. That’s what rats do," Hegseth added. Earlier, President Donald Trump stated that Mojtaba is injured but "probably alive".
