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 Pushes UN Resolution for Gaza Peace and Security Force

President Donald Trump’s administration has presented a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council seeking endorsement of his 20-point Gaza peace plan. The proposal calls for the creation of a transitional governance body and the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to oversee security and reconstruction in the enclave.

The plan outlines a two-year mandate for the ISF, which would be empowered to maintain order and support rebuilding efforts. While U.S. troops would not be deployed directly in Gaza, the initiative envisions a multinational force drawn from regional and international partners, including Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.

Trump’s framework aims to end years of conflict between Israel and Hamas by combining security guarantees with reconstruction programs. It also proposes the establishment of a “Board of Peace” to coordinate governance and humanitarian aid. Supporters argue the plan could provide a pathway to long-term stability, while critics remain cautious about its feasibility.

No date has yet been set for a Security Council vote, but Washington’s push reflects its determination to secure international legitimacy for Trump’s Gaza initiative. If approved, the resolution would mark a significant step toward reshaping governance and security in Gaza, potentially laying the groundwork for a new phase in Middle East diplomacy.
