Mojtaba Khamenei recovering, low profile after attacks

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has largely stayed out of public view, communicating mainly in writing, though sources close to him say he has mostly recovered from injuries sustained in the initial attack on Iran's leadership compound. He can now move independently and bears a visible facial scar, according to Foreign Policy. He has survived at least two additional assassination attempts during the war and has maintained a low profile for security reasons. Mojtaba remains politically active and has met with President Masoud Pezeshkian while personally responding to messages, including one sent to reformist leader Mohammad Khatami, signaling efforts to build broader political support.
