A mural unveiled in Mashhad, Iran, features Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader, alongside prominent figures believed to have been killed in recent US-Israeli airstrikes. This has led to renewed speculation about his health and ability to govern, as he has not been seen in public since taking over after his father, Ali Khamenei, died on February 28.
