WASHINGTON — President Trump was surprised by recent US intelligence suggesting that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei might be gay. According to sources, Trump reacted with laughter when briefed on this information.
The revelation, shared by two intelligence officials and a White House source, is considered credible by US spy agencies. Mojtaba, 56, was chosen to succeed his deceased father as supreme leader on March 8. The intel indicates that Mojtaba, known as "the power behind the robes" for his role as his father's gatekeeper, has been in a long-term relationship with his childhood tutor.
While there is no photographic evidence, sources claim the information comes from a highly reliable government source. Trump and his aides reportedly found the report amusing.
Speculation about Mojtaba's sexual orientation has circulated within Iran since the 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-President Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei's presumed successor. This information has been closely guarded within the US government.
Trump had previously criticized Mojtaba as a "lightweight" and an unsuitable leader for Iran. Mojtaba is seen as unlikely to comply with US demands regarding Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Reports of Mojtaba's impotence treatment in the UK have surfaced, suggesting he married late in life due to medical issues. His wife and son reportedly died in the same airstrike that killed his father. Mojtaba has another son and daughter.
Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, with sodomy being a capital offense. Former President Ahmadinejad once denied the existence of homosexuals in Iran. Despite the ethical implications, some believe outing Mojtaba is justified given the regime's treatment of gay individuals.
Mojtaba's current location and recovery status following the airstrikes on February 28 remain unclear. The White House declined to comment on this matter.
