Iran’s UN Representative: Khamenei Does Not Appear in Public Due to Security Reasons

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei does not appear in public due to security measures, but continues to perform his duties.

“Elchi” reports that Tehran’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ali Bahreini, informed about this.

“The reason for his non-appearance in public is security measures related to the current special circumstances,” he said.

According to information, during special intelligence briefings held for US President Donald Trump, the question of “where” the Iranian leader was brought up several times. According to an unnamed US official, the White House national security team is trying to determine who is in control of the real situation in Tehran.

19 US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard stated that Mojtaba Khamenei was severely wounded as a result of an Israeli airstrike. In the media, information was spread that he was taken to Russia for treatment after the injury. Iran’s Ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, denied this information.
