From Fox News: President Donald Trump said he believes Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is still alive “in some form,” despite not being seen publicly since taking office after the war in Iran began.
“I think he probably is. I think he is damaged, but I think he’s probably alive in some form, you know,” Trump said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade scheduled to air Friday at 10:06 a.m. ET on “The Brian Kilmeade Show.”
Trump’s comments came after Mojtaba Khamenei signaled that Iran would not back down in the war with the United States and Israel.
The newly appointed Supreme Leader had issued a statement Thursday amid rumors about his condition following recent strikes.
In an address to the Iranian nation, Khamenei said, “We will not refrain from avenging the blood of your martyrs.”
Rumors have been swirling that Khamenei was injured and was possibly in a coma.
Trump also talked about the Iranian regime’s ambitions regarding neighboring countries in the Middle East.
“Iran had thousands of missiles pointed at all these Middle Eastern countries for the last four months,” he said.
“They were going to take over the Middle East, they were going to control it all, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia,” he said.
“All these nations were afraid of Iran and they are not anymore. But they had reason to be afraid. We have knocked the hell out of them like no other nation could and they still have remnants left,” Trump added.
