US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he doesn't think Iran's Supreme Leader is dead.
"I don't think he's dead. He was very seriously wounded. The left side of his body, the arm, the leg, the whole thing. He was very seriously wounded. But I don’t think he’s dead," Trump said on the Glenn Beck program.
The Jerusalem Post has reported several times that Mojtaba Khamenei was not killed in Operation Roaring Lion, but was likely seriously injured.

Trump has also said that he believes that Khamenei is "more rational" than his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“He’s pretty badly injured. So there’s a certain bravery there," Trump said in June.
Notably, Khamenei has not been seen in public since he became Iran's supreme leader.
