Trump says he knows Mojtaba Khamenei's whereabouts, praises his 'logic and courage'

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 10:00

TL;DR

In a statement carried by the source covering Arab-world affairs, Donald Trump reportedly said he knows the location of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran's Supreme Leader, but declined to disclose it. Trump also praised Khamenei's 'logic and courage,' while providing what appeared to be information about his physical condition. The remarks come from a single, unofficial source and have not been independently verified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The source focused on Arab-world affairs published a statement attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, in which Trump claims to know the whereabouts of Mojtaba Khamenei — the son of Iran's Supreme Leader, who has reportedly been wounded in recent weeks. Trump is quoted as praising Khamenei's 'logic and courage' and offering details about his physical condition, while refusing to disclose his location or confirm whether he is in Iran.

The claim continues a thread of recent statements by Trump regarding the younger Khamenei. As The Zioneer noted on June 8, Trump said he 'may know' the location of the wounded Khamenei; on June 3 he expressed a desire to meet him; and on June 12 a report emerged that Khamenei had approved a nuclear deal with Trump.

This latest statement comes from a single unofficial source with no on-record confirmation from Trump or his representatives. The content has been relayed without a specific timestamp or venue for the remarks, making independent verification difficult.
