CORROBORATED
The claim is supported by multiple independent sources. Wikipedia confirms Mojtaba Khamenei has been the Supreme Leader since 2026, and web search results from Arab News PK and other sources explicitly report that the military chief met with him and received instructions to respond decisively to the enemy.

SINGLE SOURCE
