Former US President John F. Kennedy's 1961 warning to the United Nations General Assembly has resurfaced amidst ongoing US-Iran tensions. Kennedy cautioned that 'mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.'
The quote has gained relevance as tensions involving Iran continue to dominate global headlines. US President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about the status of Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, following recent US-Israeli strikes.
Iranian officials reported that Mojtaba Khamenei suffered a leg injury during the strikes, while US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth questioned the Iranian leader's public absence. A journalist from BBC Verify also noted that the profile image on Mojtaba Khamenei's newly created social media account appeared to be AI edited, fueling speculation about his whereabouts.
