US President Donald Trump on Friday said Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is likely still alive “in some form," even as speculation grows over the extent of his injuries following recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

Trump’s remarks came amid reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, who assumed office after the killing of his father Ali Khamenei, has not made a public appearance since the conflict began.

Speaking on the Fox News Radio programme hosted by Brian Kilmeade, Trump suggested the Iranian leader may have survived the attack but suffered serious harm.
