Despite the reported injury, assessments indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei is able to manage state affairs as Iran’s new supreme leader. The circumstances surrounding the injury and its severity remain unclear, and Iranian state television did not specify when it occurred or if it has affected his daily responsibilities.
