Kuwaiti newspaper reports said that Iran's new supreme leader is receiving treatment in Moscow, and the Kremlin has refused to comment.
Yesterday, Kuwaiti media Al-Watan quoted a source close to the Iranian government saying that Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei secretly flew to Moscow on March 12 by a Russian military aircraft.
The report said that Khamenei underwent a "successful surgery" in Moscow and is now recovering in a private clinic within a residence of Putin.
The source said that during his meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Putin voluntarily offered to provide treatment for Mojtaba.
Today, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the report by Al-Watan when speaking to reporters.
"We do not comment on such reports," he said.
On March 12, the Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured and said he was "in good condition."
Previously, The New York Times and Israel's 12th Channel reported that Khamenei was injured in a leg during an air strike, which was alleged to be an assassination attempt against him.
