Iran's new leader Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen since the injury

Mojtaba Khamenei, who was reportedly injured in an attack, has been conspicuous by his absence since he was named his father's successor. The new leader is doing well, the president's son, Yousef Pezeshkian, insists.

"I have asked some friends with contacts. They told me that, thank God, he is well," writes Pezeshkian the younger, who is an advisor to the government, on Telegram.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the outbreak of the war, has neither appeared in public nor made any written statements.

Iranian and Israeli sources tell The New York Times that Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded in the leg on the same day his father was killed.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is said to be in a "very secure location" from which it is difficult to communicate.
