US-Iran war: Tehran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei open to pursue nuclear weapon? Here's what US intel suggests
US intelligence agencies suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of Iran, may have ambitions to develop nuclear weaponry, despite his predecessor's earlier assurances against it. While Khamenei has not publicly advocated for nuclear weapons, the ongoing US-Israeli conflict appears to have intensified Tehran's resolve to pursue such capabilities. Analysts caution that much of the intelligence regarding Khamenei's stance predates the war, during which he has limited public engagement due to injuries sustained in airstrikes.
