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.

Seoul Mobilizes Aid for Citizens Detained in U.S. Immigration Crackdown

 Razor wire sits atop the perimeter fence outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement building after US President Donald Trump ordered increased federal law enforcement presence to assist in crime prevention, in Bridgeview, Illinois.

South Korea has pledged swift and comprehensive support for more than 300 of its citizens arrested during a large-scale U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai Motor car battery factory in Georgia. The operation, which detained a total of 475 workers, is the largest single-site enforcement action in the history of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

President Lee Jae Myung ordered “all-out efforts” to assist those detained, while Foreign Minister Cho Hyun announced the formation of a dedicated response team and signaled he may travel to Washington for talks if necessary.

U.S. Homeland Security officials said the arrests followed a months-long criminal investigation into unlawful employment practices. Video footage showed workers in yellow safety vests being escorted in shackles, with some reportedly attempting to flee before being apprehended.

Hyundai stated that none of the detained individuals were directly employed by the company and promised to investigate its suppliers. LG Energy Solution, Hyundai’s partner in the project, confirmed that 47 of its employees and about 250 contractor workers were among those held.

The incident comes amid heightened immigration enforcement in the U.S. and could add strain to trade relations between Washington and Seoul, which has committed billions in American investments.
