Iranian news releases brief, undated video of Mojtaba Khamenei after months out of public view
The video clip, which was under 15 seconds, appeared to show Khamenei speaking with a group of other men. No date or location was specified in the footage.
Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency released a brief, undated video on Sunday purportedly showing Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has been largely absent from public view since succeeding his father in March and reportedly sustaining injuries in a February 28 strike. The 15-second clip, which did not specify a date or location, showed Khamenei speaking with other men, with the right side of his face obscured. This release follows conflicting statements from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian regarding his access to Khamenei, despite state media reporting meetings between them in May and late July to discuss military and economic affairs. Basij Organization deputy Qasem Qoraishi announced that future footage would be released to counter speculation about Khamenei's health and public absence, stating it would "once again bring disgrace upon the enemies and detractors of the Iranian people."
