New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing tension between Iran, America and Israel, news has come to light which has created a new stir in international politics. A report in a Kuwaiti newspaper has intensified a new debate about Russia's role. The report claims that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not currently in his country and has been secretly taken to Russia. Although these claims have not been officially confirmed yet, after the news came to light, discussions have intensified in political and diplomatic circles.
According to the report of Kuwait's newspaper Al Jarida, Mojtaba Khamenei was transported to Russia in a very secret operation due to security and health reasons. It has been claimed that he was taken to Moscow via Russian military aircraft, where he was operated on and is currently undergoing treatment. The report said that this decision was taken in view of his deteriorating health in recent times and the security threat.
Some international reports also said that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured during the recent air strikes. For this reason it became difficult to treat him in Iran. However, Iranian officials have clearly denied these reports. Tehran says that Mojtaba Khamenei is safe and reports of his injury are baseless.
The report also claims that on Thursday a Russian military plane reached Moscow carrying Mojtaba Khamenei. It has been told that he was admitted to the hospital located in the Rashtrapati Bhavan complex. It was considered difficult to treat him in Iran due to the bombings and constant air strikes, so it was decided to take him to Russia.
According to the report, Russian President Vladimir Putin himself had proposed to the Iranian leadership to keep Mojtaba Khamenei safe in Russia. It is said that there were talks between Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pajeshkian on this issue. Security agencies feared that if his location became public, he might become the target of enemies, so a plan was made to take him to Moscow.
US President Donald Trump has also raised questions regarding the status of Mojtaba Khamenei. In an interview, Trump said that he did not even know whether Khamenei was alive or not. He said that till now he has not been seen anywhere in public, hence different types of news are coming out. Trump even said that if he is alive then he should take a wise decision considering the situation.
Analysts believe that if this report proves true then it could be a major turning point in the entire conflict. This may also indicate that Russia is playing an important role behind the scenes in this crisis. At present these claims have not been confirmed, but this news has definitely sparked a new debate in international politics.
