U.S. President Donald Trump increased international tension this Saturday by casting doubt on the health of Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and even mentioning 'rumors' of his possible death amidst the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran. During a nearly half-hour telephone interview with NBC News, the U.S. president stated that no one has publicly seen the successor to Ali Khamenei since he took power following his father's death in the initial attacks of the conflict. 'So far, nobody has been able to show him,' Trump affirmed, according to the Argentine News Agency. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported early Saturday morning the detection of a ballistic missile launch from Iran, marking the second attack recorded since midnight. According to the military report, the projectile was identified by Israeli defense systems, and air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv as part of the security protocol to warn the population. The U.S. president said he heard 'rumors' about the possible death of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. 'I don't even know if he's alive.'
