Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly sustained injuries during the first day of strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The reported injuries include a fractured foot, a bruise around his left eye, and small cuts on his face.

The incident has sparked growing speculation about the new leader's condition, with some speculating that it may have been an assassination attempt.

There has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the nature of the incident or the extent of the injuries.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was named as Iran's Supreme Leader on March 8, over a week after his father's killing.

He is reportedly strongly involved with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), one of Iran's most powerful military and economic organisations.
