Asked by Al Jazeera about his thoughts on Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says his status remains unclear.

“We don’t even know he’s in power. I know they say he’s in power. No one has seen him. No one has heard from him. It’s very opaque right now. It’s not quite clear how decisions are being made inside of Iran,” Rubio said.
