Iran to release footage of Mojtaba Khamenei in the future, says report

Iran plans to release footage of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei out among the public and meeting military commanders, according to Middle East Eye, citing a Basij Organisation deputy who spoke on Sunday. The report, carried by Iran's judiciary news outlet Mizan, seems designed to quiet speculation about his health, since he hasn't been seen publicly since being appointed supreme leader in March. Senior Iranian sources have said he suffered facial disfigurement and other injuries in the US-Israeli strike that killed his father, the previous supreme leader, on February twenty-eighth.
