Iran's new Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since his appointment by the Assembly of Experts, fuelling uncertainty about his health and whereabouts following the attack that killed his father.

Initial reports suggested Mojtaba Khamenei had been killed alongside his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes on Tehran last Saturday.

However, it emerged that while his mother, father, wife and possibly other family members all died in the strike, he survived.
