According to a BBC News report of Sunday 15 of March 2026, the United States (U.S.) President, Donald Trump, has raised doubts about the status of Iran’s newly installed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, during an interview broadcast on Saturday on NBC News.
Speaking about the situation in Iran following the death of former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, Trump questioned whether Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive. The younger Khamenei recently assumed the position after his father was killed, but his limited public appearances have fueled speculation online.
Trump referred to the fact that the new Iranian leader’s first message since taking office was delivered in writing, rather than through a televised address. That decision, he suggested, has led to uncertainty about Khamenei’s current condition. See More/Details
