Mojtaba Khamenei, appointed as Iran's supreme leader, has been reported injured but is said to be safe, according to statements from the president's son.
This marks the first official explanation for Khamenei's absence since his appointment, which has implications for the leadership's stability.
Despite external encouragement from the US and Israel for potential uprisings, there are currently no signs of significant unrest within Iran's political landscape.
