Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from severe facial and leg injuries suffered in the airstrike that killed his father at the beginning of the war, three people close to his inner circle told Reuters.

Mr. Khamenei’s face was disfigured in the attack on the Supreme Leader’s compound in ​central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said.
