President Donald Trump received a bombshell intelligence briefing last week revealing that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is probably gay, according to an exclusive report from the New York Post.
The explosive claim, published March 16, 2026, cites sources close to U.S. intelligence and the White House. It states that American spy agencies view the information as credible, based on human-source intelligence.
The briefing detailed allegations that Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, had a long-term relationship with a man who served as his childhood tutor or was close to the family. Additional claims suggest he made advances toward male caregivers while hospitalized after the February airstrike that killed his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

U.S. intelligence reportedly believes the late Supreme Leader feared his son’s suitability to rule the Islamic Republic precisely because of these personal issues, including his alleged sexuality.
President Trump could not contain his surprise during the briefing. According to multiple sources, he laughed aloud upon hearing the intel. Others in the room found it hilarious and joined in the reaction.
One senior intelligence official told the Post he “has not stopped laughing about it for days.” The president’s priceless response highlighted the irony: a regime that executes people for homosexuality now potentially led by someone with the same orientation.
Conservatives see this as yet another layer of hypocrisy in the Iranian theocracy. It underscores the regime’s internal contradictions while America continues dismantling its military capabilities.
The New York Post exclusive emphasizes that no photographic evidence exists, but the sources insist the tip is solid and not disinformation meant to undermine Khamenei.
This revelation comes amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli operations under Operation Epic Fury. Those strikes have already sunk over 100 Iranian vessels, crippled missile production, and left Iran’s leadership scrambling.
Trump has publicly dismissed Mojtaba Khamenei as a “lightweight” and a “mistake” choice by Iran. He has speculated about the new leader’s fate, noting no public appearances since the transition.
The briefing adds fuel to speculation about Khamenei’s vulnerabilities. It paints a picture of a regime riddled with secrets, even at the top.
