Iran says its new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is fully healed after earlier statements described a minor injury. Multiple reports referenced Iranian claims that the issue involved a “small scratch behind the ear.” Earlier updates said he was recovering from that purported injury, while other reports alleged he had undergone facial surgery.
In the latest account, Iran maintains that Khamenei is now recovered and that the earlier condition has resolved. The statements are made as Iran also responds to a separate U.S. proposal related to peace talks, according to the coverage. However, the reporting provided here does not include specific details of the U.S. proposal or Iran’s response beyond acknowledging the development.
Across the accounts, the central points are Iran’s characterization of the health matter as minor and resolved, and the earlier discrepancy between Iran’s description and reports that suggested surgery. The articles do not resolve which version is accurate regarding the cause or treatment of the “scratch.”
