Show Your Face!!!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is daring Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, to show his face … accusing him of hiding amid claims he’s been disfigured, instead of speaking publicly.
Hegseth ripped into Khamenei after the 56-year-old’s first message since taking power aired on Iranian state TV … a written statement calling for unity that was read aloud by a presenter.
In a Friday briefing, the Pentagon chief questioned why Khamenei didn’t appear on camera himself … suggesting he’s scared, injured, or on the run after the recent strikes that killed his father.
Hegseth said the message came off weak without any voice or video … pointing out Iran has plenty of cameras if the leader really wanted to address the public.
He doubled down, claiming Iran’s leadership is desperate and hiding underground — adding bluntly, “That’s what rats do.”
Other than the statement, Khamenei hasn’t been seen publicly since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Feb. 28 that killed his father.
