Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen in public for several days since his appointment during the ongoing war. The 56-year-old cleric took power after US and Israeli strikes on 28 February killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. His first message to the nation was also delivered by a news anchor on Iranian state television rather than by Mojtaba himself. Iranian officials say he was injured in the same airstrike that killed his father. The message called for retaliation, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the shutdown of US military bases in the region. Pro-government rallies have taken place in Tehran, while reports of anti-government slogans have also emerged.
