US President Donald Trump said he believes Iran's Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is alive but was seriously wounded in the strikes that killed his father, following fresh reports speculating that the younger Khamenei had died.

"I don't think he's dead. He was very seriously wounded. The left side of his body, the arm, the leg, the whole thing. He was very seriously wounded, but I don't think he's dead," Trump told conservative commentator Glenn Beck.
