#Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, #MojtabaKhamenei, is currently governing from an undisclosed hideout while struggling to recover from catastrophic injuries sustained in a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike, according to a report.
The report, which draws on interviews with six senior Iranian officials, Revolutionary Guard members, and individuals close to the leadership, suggests that the younger #Khamenei is physically incapacitated and increasingly dependent on a circle of hard-line military generals who have effectively seized control of the state’s decision-making apparatus.
