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…
…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.
This is such a classic Trump story. We can picture Trump bursting out laughing after hearing this intel. With that said, stories like these during war time are always tough to trust. We aren’t saying it can’t be true. We are just saying stories like these always come out during war time. Remember, the stories at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war about Putin? Although according to the report, the intel is viewed as credible.
