Milan, May 9 (LaPresse) – According to CNN, which cites sources familiar with the assessments, U.S. intelligence believes that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, continues to be involved in defining Tehran’s war and negotiating strategy, despite not appearing in public since being injured in attacks that killed his father Ali. According to the report, Khamenei is recovering from burns and other injuries, remaining largely isolated and communicating through couriers rather than electronic devices. U.S. intelligence believes that Iran’s leadership remains fragmented, with senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf handling much of the day-to-day decision-making, while Tehran’s government evaluates U.S. proposals to end the conflict.
