Trump Says Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei Alive, Seriously Wounded

Donald Trump says Iran’s leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is still alive.

Trump also says Khamenei was badly hurt on the left side of his body.

Khamenei has not been seen in public since becoming leader about six months ago.

This long absence has caused people to question his health and whereabouts.

Iranian media have shared messages and videos said to be connected to him.

Some of the videos were undated or recorded before he became leader.

Iran’s president says Khamenei is completely healthy.

No information in the articles independently proves exactly where Khamenei is or how badly he is injured.

Trump also said the United States was making military progress.

He said the Strait of Hormuz was open, but shipping there was still heavily restricted.
