US Intelligence Briefs Trump on Unverified Claims About Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

US intelligence agencies reportedly briefed former President Donald Trump on claims that Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay. The information, considered credible by some US officials but lacking public evidence, includes allegations of a long-term relationship with a male childhood tutor and advances toward male caregivers during recovery from injuries. Trump and others reportedly reacted with surprise and amusement. The claims remain unverified publicly, and Iran's legal context on same-sex relations is restrictive.
