Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Hegseth: Khamenei Injured, US Warns Iran. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
In Sydney today, March 13, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth claims Iran's new supreme leader, Mochetaba Kamenei, is injured and probably scarred from recent strikes. This comes after nearly two weeks of U.S. and Israeli attacks targeting Iran's military sites, including missiles, drones, and navy assets. Kamenei has stayed out of sight since his appointment last Sunday by a group of clerics. His first public words appear Thursday in a written statement read by a TV announcer, promising to block the straight of hormones and urging neighbors, to shut U.S. bases or face attacks. Hexeth pointed out the odd lack of video or audio, calling it a sign of weakness and fear, especially after his father's death. An Iranian source says Kamenei has minor injuries but keeps working, even as more Iranian drones head toward Kuwait, Iraq, and Gulf states. Meanwhile, President Trump warns of intense U.S. action against Iran over the next week, while claiming the regime is crumbling.
To ease biking energy cause from the conflict, the U.S. issued a 30-day pass for countries to buy Russian oil already at sea. The fighting has claimed 2,000 lives, mostly in Iran, but now hits Lebanon and Gulf areas too. U.S. troops lost six in an Iraq plane crash, and allies like France report deaths from attacks near training sites.
