President Trump, in an interview with Fox News, confirmed that the CIA gave him intelligence that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month that it appears that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, who was chosen by Iran’s clerical establishment following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is likely a homosexual.
According to a report by the New York Post, this, along with an “impotency problem” and inability to find a wife, drew concern about his leadership capability from the elder Khamenei before his assassination.
The Post reports that US spy agencies believe Khamenei had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor, according to a tip from “one of the most protected sources that the [Iranian] government has.”
Trump is said to have laughed out loud when briefed by officials.
On Thursday evening, while making an appearance on Fox News’ The Five, host Jesse Watters asked Trump, “Did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Jr. is gay?”
Trump responded, “They did say that.”
“A lot of people are saying that. Which puts them off to a bad start in that particular country, you know,” added Trump.

Per Newsweek:
President Donald Trump said Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials had briefed him on allegations circulating about Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, remarks he made during an interview on Fox News’ The Five.
Asked by host Jesse Watters about a New York Post report published earlier this month regarding Khamenei’s sexual orientation, Trump said the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had raised the issue with him but suggested the information was not limited to a single source. “They did say that (he is gay), but I don’t know if it was only them,” Trump said. “I think a lot of people are saying that, which puts him off to a bad start in that particular country.”
The New York Post reported March 16 that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Khamenei’s late father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had concerns about his son’s suitability to lead Iran because of his personal life.
The tabloid cited unnamed sources who said U.S. intelligence assessed that Mojtaba Khamenei had a long‑term relationship with a man. U.S. intelligence agencies do not publicly comment on personal allegations involving foreign leaders.
The New York Post reported that when Trump was first briefed on the intel, he thought it was “hilarious.”
The outlet added that the 47th President laughed about it for days.
President Trump, later in the interview, noted, “No Republicans got the gay vote as I did. I’m very proud of it.”
