Report: Iran’s new supreme leader is … GAY!
There’s a new report with credible backing that Iran’s newly chosen supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late ayatollah, Ali Khamenei, is gay.
And sources confirmed that President Donald Trump burst out laughing at the news.
It’s the irony that Iran has an established record of executing homosexuals that darkens the issue somewhat.
It is the New York Post that revealed the story.

U.S. intelligence believes Iran’s new Supreme Leader is gay.
The source: one of the CIA’s most protected assets. The confidence: high enough to brief the President.
Iran has executed thousands for exactly this since 1979.

The report notes the evidence includes that the late ayatollah expressed doubts about his son’s suitability to follow him in the leadership role because of “issues” in Mjotaba’s “personal life.”
The Post said, “His father and others suspected he was gay and that was something that people were spreading to try to stop his ascension.”
Homosexual activity is strictly banned in Iran, although of late the regime has allowed sex change operations.
But sodomy remains a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, and some “convicts” actually have been hanged from construction cranes as a warning.
“In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals,” the regime’s ex-president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed a few years back.
The report said when Trump learned, he “couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources. Others in the room also found it ‘hilarious’ and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official ‘has not stopped laughing about it for days,’ said one person familiar with the briefing.”
The report came to Trump’s attention through a briefing from U.S. intelligence agencies.
The report suggested the younger Khamenei “has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.”
The report charged, “U.S. spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mojtaba Khamenei’s alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was ‘derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has.'”
The report said Mojtaba’s orientation “had been whispered about inside Iran since at least the May 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-President Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei’s presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said.”
