Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly reacted with laughter during an intelligence briefing concerning allegations about Mojtaba Khamenei, according to a report by the New York Post.
The report claimed Trump was briefed by intelligence officials on personal allegations relating to Khamenei’s private life and responded with surprise and amusement. Sources cited in the report said others present during the briefing also reacted strongly, with one senior official reportedly saying they “had not stopped laughing about it for days.”
The briefing also allegedly included claims that Ali Khamenei—reported in the article to have been killed in a missile strike at the start of the Iran war—had expressed concerns about his son potentially succeeding him. Mojtaba Khamenei was said to have taken over the leadership role last week.
The article further referenced unverified allegations about Mojtaba Khamenei’s personal relationships. However, these claims have not been independently confirmed, and officials from the White House have not issued any public response.
The report has since drawn attention due to the sensitive nature of the claims and the absence of official confirmation.
