Trump claims Mojtaba Khamenei is '90% gone'US president Donald Trump on Monday claimed that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was "90% gone" as he went describe the effects of US strikes on Iran.“Khamenei is gone, the son is 90% gone,” Fox News quoted Trump saying.“They have no navy, they have no air force, it's all gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone, their leaders have all been killed, their best leaders have been killed,” he said.Mojtaba Khamenei, did not attend his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's state funeral prayers which were held in Tehran. State television showed three of Khamenei's sons offering prayers alongside Iran's political and military leaders, but Mojtaba was notably absent. His nonappearance drew attention after Iranian state media reported that he would not attend the funeral ceremonies due to security concerns.Later, he issued a message saying that avenging the killing of his father and predecessor was "the demand of the nation" and "must certainly" be carried out, according to a written message posted on his official Telegram channel."We pledge to avenge ‌the blood of the martyred leader and all the ⁠martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers," Khamenei said in the message.The Middle East conflict has intensified as the United States and Iran both claimed control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz following a fresh exchange of attacks over the weekend. The latest escalation was triggered after Iran struck a container ship near the Omani coast, further heightening tensions around the narrow waterway that once handled nearly one-fifth of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas trade. With commercial shipping repeatedly disrupted and Iran continuing to pressure maritime traffic, the strait has emerged as the central flashpoint in the conflict. The renewed hostilities have also cast fresh doubt on the 60-day interim US-Iran agreement, which was intended to pave the way for broader peace negotiations but has instead descended into a cycle of military confrontations, raising fears of a wider regional war.
