Iran's ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, has denied allegations that the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been transferred to Russia for treatment.
In a post on the X platform on Tuesday, Jalali said: "This is a new psychological war, there is no need for Iran's leaders to escape to shelters or hide, their place is in the streets and among the people."
A few days ago, Kuwaiti media reported that Iran's new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, had been secretly transferred to Moscow for treatment.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the allegations in a statement to reporters on Monday.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday it was unclear whether Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei was still alive, amid reports that he had been hit in an airstrike.
Israel and the United States have been launching attacks on Iran since February 28 that have killed hundreds of people, led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security officials, while Tehran has responded by firing missiles and drones towards Israel and targeting what it describes as American interests in the Gulf countries and Iraq, causing deaths and injuries and damage to civilian objects, which the targeted countries condemned.
