(MENAFN) Yousef Pezeshkian, son of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, denied reports that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was injured in a US-Israeli airstrike.
“I heard news that Agha Mojtaba was injured. I asked friends who had contact with him. They said he is in good health and there is no problem,” Pezeshkian wrote on his Telegram channel.
Earlier, *The New York Times* had reported that Mojtaba Khamenei sustained leg injuries during the opening days of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Mojtaba was named successor to his father, Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a US-Israeli strike on Feb. 28.
