Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued his latest threat vowing to support anti-American and anti-Israel terrorist cells in the Middle East — with the Islamic regime chief still ruling from the shadows.
Khamenei, who has not been since he was injured during the initial strikes of the war, rebuked one of President Trump’s war goals seeking to end Iran’s role as a sponsor of terror groups in the region.
“I firmly declare that the consistent policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in continuing the path of the late Imam and martyred leader, is based on continuing to support the resistance against the Zionist-American enemy,” Khamenei said in a statement read by state television.
The supreme leader has been submitting orders via state media anchors since he ascended to power last month.
Khamenei — the son of the longtime supreme leader, who was killed on the first day of the war — is believed to be “probably gay” and may have been badly injured in the strikes that killed his father and most of his family, according to US intelligence.
The extent of his injuries, however, is unclear.
Reports suggested that he suffered a fractured foot and numerous other minor injuries and lacerations.
But due to his lingering absence from the public, Trump and others have questioned whether he’s even alive.
Ali Bahreini, Iran’s representative to the United Nations office in Geneva, has insisted Khamenei was in “full health” and remained hidden due to security reasons.
Khamenei’s latest statement was directed at Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group currently fighting Israel in southern Lebanon.
Along with Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels have continued their attack against the Jewish state, with the Yemen-based terror group firing a third barrage of ballistic missiles on Wednesday.
Despite the escalations, Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran “has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!”
Iran, however, denied the allegations, slamming the president’s assertion as “false and baseless.”
