Moscow, March 17 /Xinhua/ — Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali denied reports that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in Russia for treatment.

"The habit of lying never leaves a liar's mind, but an Iranian proverb says that a liar has a short memory and is forgetful. Today, the drums of scandal have been heard in Western and Persian-language media. Before the day of American and Zionist aggression against Iran, on the morning of the most revered divine month, the news of Martyr Khamenei's escape to Venezuela and Russia dominated the media coverage of the satanic movement. Today, the news of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution being transferred to Russia for treatment is a new psychological war. Iranian leaders don't need to flee and hide in shelters; their place is on the streets among the people. The blood of Martyr Khamenei cancels the magic of psychological warfare and the torrent of lies," Iranian diplomat H. wrote on social media.

The father of Iran's current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the weeks-long American-Israeli offensive against Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry reported that the new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded in the attacks but is in good health.
