Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is "completely healthy" after a seven-hour meeting, his office confirmed on Sunday without disclosing when or where it took place. The update counters media reports, including from Israeli outlets and IranWire, that claimed Khamenei was in an "extremely critical condition." Mojtaba became Supreme Leader after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in US-Israeli strikes on February 28. He has not appeared publicly since then. Iran's semi-official Mehr News agency released an undated video of him, but critics said it was old. Hindustan Times reports the video could not be independently verified.
