The Iranian ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, has dismissed claims made by media suggesting that the nation's newly appointed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is currently receiving medical care in Moscow. This denial was relayed by the state-run TASS news agency on Tuesday.
Originating from a Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Jarida, over the weekend, reports indicated that Khamenei, aged 56, was purportedly injured in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike alongside his father. Allegedly, he had been transported to Moscow for treatment at the express invitation of President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has opted not to address the original media reports, neither confirming nor refuting the claims made.
