Trump Claims Unverified Reports Suggest Iran's Supreme Leader is Gay

Washington D.C. | US President Donald Trump made controversial claims about Iran's new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Junior, during a television interview. During the interview broadcast on Fox News, host Jesse Watters asked, 'Did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Junior is gay?'

In response, Trump stated, 'They did say that, but I'm not sure if that's just what they said. Many people are saying the same thing.' He did not present any evidence to support this claim.

Homosexual relations are considered illegal in Iran. Under Islamic law (Sharia), such relations are deemed contrary to Islamic values and are treated as punishable offenses.

The New York Post had previously reported that Trump was informed about this matter. Trump had also previously expressed doubt about whether Iran's new Supreme Leader was even alive following the US strike.
