Russian RTVI platform reported on Tuesday, citing the Russian ambassador to Iran, that Iran's new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is in the country but avoids public appearances "for understandable reasons." The United States had previously stated that it believes Mojtaba was injured and likely has deformities. Several statements have been issued by Mojtaba Khamenei since he took office following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, but he has not appeared in public.
