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.
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei made an appearance in a brief, undated video released by the country's semi-official Mehr News Agency. The video, lasting less than fifteen seconds, showed Khamenei conversing with a group of men, though no location or date was specified. The footage did not display the right side of his face.
Khamenei had not been seen in public since the start of the war and his father's assassination. He succeeded his father as supreme leader in March. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met Khamenei in July, but the president later claimed communication with the supreme leader was "very difficult." Khamenei was reportedly injured in the February 28 strike that killed his father.
Pezeshkian's paramilitary leader promised future footage of Khamenei in public and during meetings with armed forces commanders, aiming to counter speculation about the leader's health and public appearances.
