Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also added to the uncertainty, saying in a state television interview that direct contact with Khamenei was currently \u201cvery difficult\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>In July, Saudi news outlet Al Hadath, citing an Israeli security source, reported that Khamenei was \u201cnot in Iran\u201d. US President Donald Trump later told Fox News that Iran\u2019s top military leadership had been eliminated and claimed Khamenei was \u201c90% gone\u201d and incapacitated following the military campaign.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Iranian state officials have played down the severity of his injuries, describing them as superficial. They have also maintained that he continues to oversee key decisions and issue directives.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>However, the lack of live public appearances or direct addresses has fuelled continued speculation in Iran and abroad about his health and ability to lead. Western and opposition-linked sources have claimed that he suffered serious injuries and has since relied on written statements and intermediaries to communicate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Earlier, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was reportedly taken to an undisclosed location in Tehran for a brief meeting with a man introduced to him as Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, according to Iran International. <!-- -->The reported encounter has added to questions surrounding the secrecy around Iran\u2019s new leadership.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Pezeshkian was allegedly escorted into the back seat of a dark, tinted-window vehicle, where the man identified as Khamenei was already seated. According to the report, the windows remained covered and security personnel prevented the two men from seeing or shaking hands, leaving them to communicate only by voice.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The report further claimed that Pezeshkian later questioned whether the voice he heard during the meeting actually belonged to the new Supreme Leader.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br
