New York Postprobably gay, surprise US-Israeli airstrikes
Newsmax⚠
All details originate from a single unverified New York Post account of a Trump interview. The report alleges US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28 killed Ali Khamenei, injured his son Mojtaba, and started open conflict, with Trump stating he has not met but expects to meet the 56-year-old Mojtaba. No independent sources have corroborated any element of the story.
The account illustrates risks of boastful personal diplomacy amid unverified reports of regime-change strikes while downplaying human costs and favoring multilateral transparency.
