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.

Canada Set for a ‘December to Remember’ as Winter Arrives Abruptly

The Weather Network is warning Canadians to brace themselves for a sharp and memorable start to winter. After an unusually warm autumn, meteorologists say December will bring blasts of frigid Arctic air, plunging temperatures and delivering a more traditional Canadian winter.

According to the seasonal outlook, most regions will experience near or colder-than-normal temperatures, along with near or above-normal snowfall. This marks a dramatic shift from the balmy fall months, when much of the country—from the Rockies to the Maritimes—enjoyed weather that felt more like summer than autumn.

Meteorologist Doug Gillham explained that the arrival of Arctic air will be a defining feature of the season, signaling the end of mild weather patterns. The Weather Network’s forecast suggests that December will serve as a turning point, ushering in snowier commutes, colder nights, and a holiday season wrapped in true winter conditions.

For winter enthusiasts, this abrupt transition may be welcome news, as ski resorts and outdoor activities are expected to benefit from the early snow. But for many Canadians, it will mean preparing for icy roads, heavier snowfalls, and the challenges of a long, cold season.

In short, December 2025 is shaping up to be a month that lives up to its billing—a “December to remember”—as Canada braces for the full force of winter.
