Developments
US President Donald Trump reportedly laughed during an intelligence briefing after being told that American agencies believe Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay due to a long-term relationship with his childhood tutor. While US sources consider this claim credible based on highly protected information rather than photographic evidence, homosexuality remains illegal in Iran and carries severe criminal penalties under the country's laws.
