U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei , was seriously wounded and likely disfigured during the opening phase of U.S. and Israeli military strikes. Speaking at a Pentagon briefing, Hegseth described Iran’s leadership as “desperate and hiding,” asserting that Khamenei has gone underground following injuries sustained in the attacks.  Reports from multiple outlets indicate that Khamenei has not appeared publicly since the conflict began, fueling speculation about the severity of his condition.

Trump Greenlights Missile Delivery to Ukraine Amid Rising Tensions with Russia

President Donald Trump has announced a major shift in U.S. policy toward the war in Ukraine, pledging to deliver Patriot missile systems and other advanced weaponry to Kyiv. The announcement comes ahead of a high-level meeting between Trump’s special envoy, General Keith Kellogg, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

Trump cited growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s continued aggression, stating, “He talks nicely, and then bombs everyone at night. I don’t like it”. The weapons package, which may include long-range offensive systems, marks a dramatic reversal from Trump’s earlier stance of limiting U.S. involvement in the conflict.

The European Union is expected to reimburse the U.S. for the cost of the missile systems, with Trump emphasizing that “we’re not paying anything for it”. The delivery is part of a broader strategy to bolster Ukraine’s defenses against intensified Russian drone and missile attacks, which have caused record civilian casualties in recent months.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally, described the move as a “game-changer,” predicting a record flow of weapons to Ukraine in the coming days. General Kellogg’s visit signals deeper cooperation between Washington and Kyiv, with discussions expected to cover defense, sanctions, and joint production of military equipment.

This development underscores a growing rift between Trump and Putin, and could reshape the geopolitical landscape as NATO leaders prepare to meet in Washington this week.
