The New York Times first reported on Mojtaba Khamenei's injury, citing Iranian sources. At the time, it was reported that he had leg injuries.

CNN reported that the 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei has a fractured foot, as well as a bruise near his left eye and small cuts on his face. An Israeli source previously claimed he was wounded during an assassination attempt on his life.

Iran's ambassador to Cyprus, Alireza Salarian, stated that Khamenei sustained injuries during the same airstrike that killed his father — 86-year-old former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — along with five other family members.

Since his proclamation as Supreme Leader on March 9, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly. According to the diplomat, this may be due to his injuries. Meanwhile, the son of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the country's new leader is safe and there are no serious reasons for concern regarding his condition.

Iranian state media are currently using archival videos featuring Mojtaba Khamenei, as well as images created with artificial intelligence.

    Крынж , лукашэнку хай забіраюць.
    Ён мастак плёскаць языком.
    Ён і Трампу падабаецца.

    Новы аяталон,
    Спачатку яму знесці купмал, потым упакаваць, а потым падарыць. Яго нажаль прымуць толькі ў такім выглядзе, бо за 30+ год дастаў усіх.
