Donald Trump reportedly burst into laughter after being told by US intelligence that Iran’s new Supreme Leader might be gay.
The bombshell claims suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei, who recently ascended to power following the death of his father, has a private life that stands in contrast with the hardline Islamic regime he now heads up.
According to reports from The New York Post, the US President was stunned during a recent intelligence briefing. Sources claim Trump “couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud” when presented with the files.
The reaction wasn’t limited to the Commander-in-Chief. Insiders say others present found the revelation “hilarious,” with one senior intelligence official reportedly unable to stop laughing about the situation for days.
The intel suggests that Mojtaba, known as “the power behind the robes”, may have allegedly been involved in a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor. Other sources pointed toward a former employee of the Khamenei family.
The claims go even further, alleging that Mojtaba has made “aggressive” sexual overtures to male staff while recovering from injuries sustained in the February 28 airstrike that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
A source told the Post: “The fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels shows you there’s some confidence in this.”
It appears the rumours aren’t new as the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly harboured fears about his son’s suitability to lead the Islamic Republic due to “personal issues.”
While the US lacks photographic evidence, the tip is considered “solid” and originates from some of the government’s most protected sources.
A 2008 WikiLeaks cable previously noted Mojtaba sought treatment in London for “impotence” and married relatively late in life.
Same-sex relations are a capital offence in Iran, which has previously resulted in people being punished by public execution.
Despite the sensitivity of “outing” individuals, intelligence sources argue the hypocrisy of the Iranian regime makes this a unique case.
One source said: “If there was ever a time where it was OK to out somebody, it would be when it’s a leader of a repressive Islamic theocracy that hangs gay people by cranes.”
