        "summary": "Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran following the death of his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel joint attack on 28 February, has remained largely absent from public view, citing security and health recovery concerns. His instructions have been disseminated via social media or read out on state television until his recent televised appearance on 19 March 2026, where he delivered a sermon to youth, dispelling rumours of his death or severe injury propagated by US officials. Despite this, Mojtaba continues to act cautiously, avoiding direct statements to project strength amid the critical national situation.",
        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, TEHERAN \u2014 Iran\u2019s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah\nMojtaba Khamenei, appears to still be absent from public appearances\nsince assuming leadership following the death of his father, Ayatollah\nAli Khamenei. Reports cited by the New York Times indicate that security\nconditions and health recovery are the main reasons behind the Supreme\nLeader\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p>As is known, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in a combined attack by the\nUnited States (US) and Israel on 28 February. Since then, his\ninstructions and directions have so far been conveyed through social\nmedia posts or read out by presenters on state television.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Mojtaba Khamenei reappeared in public through Iran\u2019s\nstate television broadcast on Thursday (19\/3\/2026) local time. Mojtaba\u2019s\nappearance also serves as a decisive rebuttal to rumours of his death or\nreports of severe injury previously spread by US parties.<\/p>\n<p>In the video clip broadcast, Mojtaba Khamenei appears healthy while\ndelivering a sermon in front of a group of youths. His presence on the\ntelevision screen ends speculation triggered by statements from several\nhigh-ranking Washington officials.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mojtaba has not yet given a direct statement. An Iranian\nofficial revealed that Mojtaba is acting very cautiously. He is said not\nto want to appear vulnerable or sound weak in his first public speech\namid the crucial national situation.<\/p>",
