I'm Cory, and this is your Pulse of the World, Global News Today. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Kamenay, was lightly injured in recent strikes, but is still carrying out his duties, according to an Iranian official. The appointment came on Sunday after a clerical assembly selected him to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Kamenay, who died in the first wave of Israeli and United States strikes on February 28th. Those initial attacks targeted top Iranian leaders, and also killed Mojtaba Kamenay's mother, sister, and wife, state media reported. State television has portrayed him as a war-wounded veteran, calling him a Jan Baz in the so-called Ramadan war, while rumors swirl because he has not. Appeared publicly or spoken since taking office, Israeli officials assess he suffered only minor injuries, explaining his absence, and sources say the Revolutionary Guards Corps strongly backed his, quick rise to power.
