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.

Tragedy in Edmonton: Disappearance of Indigenous Teen Samuel Bird Now a Homicide Investigation

 

The disappearance of 14-year-old Samuel Bird, an Indigenous teenager from Edmonton, has taken a heartbreaking turn as police now believe his death was criminal in nature. Samuel was last seen on June 1, 2025, after leaving his home to visit a friend in the Canora neighborhood. Surveillance footage captured him walking through the grounds of Holy Cross School that evening, but he was never seen again.

Despite extensive search efforts by family, friends, and volunteers from across provinces, hope dwindled as weeks passed. In August, police deemed the case suspicious, and by late September, the Edmonton Police Service confirmed they were treating it as a homicide. Investigators believe Samuel’s body was disposed of on land within 150 kilometers of Edmonton and that steps were taken to conceal it.

Samuel’s parents, Alanna and Justin Bird, expressed profound grief during a recent police update. “His laughter, his spirit and his love are what defined him, not the circumstances of his disappearance,” Alanna said tearfully.

Police are urging landowners, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts to remain vigilant and report any signs that could help locate Samuel’s remains. A suspicious fire at a duplex previously searched in connection to the case is also under investigation.

The community continues to mourn the loss of a young life, while calls for justice and accountability grow louder.
