March 11 (UPI) -- Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was injured in the attack that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other members of his family.
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, hasn't appeared in video or public since he was named to the position on Sunday, partially because communication could reveal his position, The New York Times reported that three unnamed Iranian officials said. But they also said he was injured on Feb. 28, the first day of the attack by the United States and Israel.
He was alert and hiding at a highly secure location with limited communication, but he suffered injuries, including to his legs, they reported. How badly he was injured is unclear.
Iran's ambassador to Cyprus Alireza Salarian also confirmed his injury to The Guardian.
