Claim 1: “Khamenei has not been seen in public since being injured in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes six months ago”

The claim regarding injuries from U.S.-Israeli airstrikes and absence from public view is only reported by Flipboard. While Wikipedia mentions an assassination of Ali Khamenei in 2026, it does not corroborate the specific details of Mojtaba's injuries or six-month absence.
