Trump claims Mojtaba Khamenei is '90% dead'; IRGC posts Photoshop pic instead of video

U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran's top military commanders have been killed and asserted that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Supreme Leader, is "90% gone." Trump made these assertions during an interview with Fox News, stating that Iran's military has been largely destroyed, with its navy, air force, and anti-aircraft capabilities gone.

They have no navy, they have no air force, it's all gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone, their leaders have all been killed, their best leaders have been killed.

"Khamenei is gone, the son is 90% gone," Trump said, without providing evidence for his claims. His remarks come shortly after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a new image of Mojtaba Khamenei. The IRGC stated that Khamenei is in "complete health," countering what they described as attempts by opponents to cast doubt on his condition.

The IRGC's press channel on X published the image, which also appeared on the Supreme Leader's official website. This was released following months of speculation on social media regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's absence from public view. The photograph generated mixed reactions online, with some users questioning its authenticity and demanding recent video footage instead of a still image. Others cited Khamenei's prolonged absence from public appearances as a reason for continued speculation.

Khamenei is gone, the son is 90% gone.

Iranian authorities have not publicly addressed the speculation beyond releasing the photograph. Similarly, Trump offered no evidence to substantiate his claims about the deaths of Iran's senior military leaders or the condition of Mojtaba Khamenei.
