Mojtaba Khamenei Is Gay? So Say the Rumors

The New York Post is reporting that President Trump has been briefed by intelligence officials that Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is widely known by the inner circle of Iran to be a homosexual who has harassed subordinates. 

If the reports are true, Iran will have had a gay Supreme Leader years before America gets a gay president, which is about as ironic as anything that I can think of. 

As Elon Musk says, you can tell we live in a simulation because so often the most amusing answer to a question so often turns out to be right. 

WASHINGTON —  President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.

Trump 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.

There are two levels of potential doubt I have about this story, although with that said, it would hardly surprise me if the story turns out to be true.

First, since the Post report depends on anonymous sources, we really don't know who is leaking this information; second, in the midst of an information war, it would hardly surprise anybody that the White House would be leaking false stories in order to undermine the already weak authority that Khamenei, should he actually be alive, would have in his country. 

It COULD be an information operation, in other words. Everything these days seems to be. 

But it could also be true, and it dovetails well with all those reports that Khamenei has a problem giving the one-gun salute to women, needing treatment in the UK to deal with impotence. 

Perhaps he just can't get it up for women?

All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8.

Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname “the power behind the robes” while serving as his aging dad’s gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.

The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family.

The betting is that  Khamenei is in no position to act on his sexual proclivities in any case, being mortally wounded, in a coma, or already dead. The IRGC has decided on the "Biden strategy" of leadership—using a brain-dead puppet as a front man for the real power behind the throne. 

Rumors abound about Khamenei's condition and location. Is he dead? In a coma? In Russia? Is his body intact? 

All the proof-of-life we have seen is regime officials trotting out a headshot from years ago, with a crowd gathered for a photograph. The memes of the event are delicious. 

As far as I can tell, the people who support Khamenei the most are leftist protesters in the West. As Iranians wait for the day of liberation, our own media is doing double duty, spreading Iranian propaganda, and the useful idiots on the left are splitting their attention between trying to save the Islamists in Iran and the communists in Cuba. 

Mojtaba’s purported sexual 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.

Within the US government, “it’s been a pretty closely held piece of information,” one insider said.

Trump previously dismissed Mojtaba Khamenei as a “lightweight” and an “unacceptable” choice to run Iran. The new supreme leader is widely considered to be someone who would not bend to US demands to abandon the nuclear and ballistic missile programs that prompted Operation Epic Fury.

Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei’s sex life have been reported before and may lend credence to the allegation.

A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008, published by WikiLeaks, described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition. 

The State Department file says Mojtaba married “relatively late in life” — around age 30 — “reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK, at Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals, London.

“Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant,” the leaked file said.

There is something delicious about this claim, whether it is true or false. If true, it is hilarious. If false, it is hilarious as a troll of Khamenei. 

In either case, it explains the whole Queer/Islam coalition.
