When Khamenei warned Trump…
Earlier on June 27, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had strongly criticised US President Donald Trump's call for Iran's surrender, describing it as 'too big to come out of his mouth.' 'The US President stated, 'Iran must surrender.' Needless to say, this statement is too big to come out of the US president's mouth,' Khamenei wrote on X.
Iran is a country remarkably well-known for its strict application of the Hijab law (Hijab and Chastity Bill). Not only do laws related to the Hijab not allow for individual discretion, but non-compliance with hijab laws can also lead to considerable punishments – from large fines, incarceration, and education bans, to employment bans with travel restrictions.

When did Ayatollah Ali Khamenei come to power in Iran?
For 44 years, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been in power in Iran, and he has married only once (1964), to Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh. Mansoureh, who is now 78 years of age, was born in 1947 in Mashhad province of Iran to a devout Persian family with their fair share of privilege. Her father, Mohammad Esmail Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, was a businessperson, and her brother, Hasan Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, was the deputy director of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting(IRIB). She practices Islam and is of Persian ethnic origin. The couple has six children (four sons and two daughters).
Who are Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's children, and how many does he have?
Khamenei's Sons:
Mojtaba Khamenei
Masoud Khamenei
Mostafa Khamenei
Meysam Khamenei
Khamenei's Daughters:
Hoda Khamenei
Boshra Khamenei
Who is Boshra Khamenei?
Boshra Khamenei, the daughter of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was born in the 1980s in Mashhad, Iran. She is around 40 years old. Boshra was raised in a religious family and follows Islam, specifically the Shia sect, due to strong clerical influences in her family. Ethnically, Boshra is Persian. However, much of the information about her personal life is kept private, as the Khamenei family is particularly careful about privacy.
A six-month investigation conducted by Reuters disclosed that Khamenei controls a huge financial empire through an entity called Setad (Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order). In 2013, Reuters estimated the assets of Setad to be approximately $95 billion. However, other reports have suggested that this could be as high as $200 billion, citing U.S. officials' estimates.
What is Ayatollah Khamenei's personal fortune, and how was it accumulated?
Ayatollah Khamenei's personal fortune, particularly via Setad, is estimated to be worth between $95 billion and $200 billion. His sons—Mojtaba, Masoud, and Meysam—also reportedly own assets in the millions to billions. Despite enforcing strict hijab laws, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a polarizing figure on the world stage as a wealthy and private man. Although claiming to value simplicity, his financial empire in the range of $95 billion-$200 billion raises many questions.

Lingayat seer forced to leave Karnataka mutt after devotees learn about his Muslim background
A 22-year-old seer was compelled to leave his position at a mutt in Karnataka's Chamarajanagar on Monday after villagers objected to his appointment upon learning of his Muslim background prior to taking the basava deeksha (religious initiation). Nijalinga Swamy, who had served as the seer of the year-old mutt in Gundlupet taluka for just six weeks, took his religious vows five years ago, at age 17. Originally from Yadgir district, he had dedicated himself to spreading the teachings of Lingayat social reformer Basavanna through vachanas or devotional poems across Karnataka. The controversy erupted last week when a local resident discovered the seer's former identity on seeing his Aadhaar card, which revealed his birth name and former religion. This discovery led to opposition from a section of devotees who claimed that they were unaware of his background before the appointment. Speaking to The Indian Express, Nijalinga Swamy said he was born in a Muslim family as Mohammed Nisar. 'At a very young age, I was attracted towards Basavanna and his ideas. I used to perform puja just like any Lingayat. My parents were frightened and they sent me to a madrassa to study. It gave me another dimension, and at the age of 17, I took deeksha (initiation) to become a Lingayat.' Mahadev Prasad, a philanthropist who resides in Australia, had donated land to build a mutt in Chamarajanagar district's Chowdahalli. After establishing Gurumalleshwara Shakha mutt, Nijalinga Swamy was appointed its head as he was already following Lingayat rituals at a mutt in Basavakalyan, Bidar. 'They approached my Guru to suggest a seer for the mutt, and he suggested my name. Some well-wishers told me not to reveal my previous identity (as a Muslim) and to work for the betterment of the mutt,' he said. The seer had two mobiles phone, one of which he used before taking deeksha. One of his employees sought Nijalinga Swamy's mobile phone last week as his device was not working and the seer gave him the old mobile phone. On going through the phone, the employee saw the Aadhaar card, photos of Nisar in a skull cap and another one holding a bottle of beer. He immediately informed the mutt's devotees. On being confronted, the seer admitted that he was a Muslim before accepting the Lingayat faith. He also clarified that he had not engaged in any 'unholy' activity, like drinking beer, after his religious conversion. However, by then, the devotees had forced him to step down. 'I left my parents and Islam only because I believe in Basavanna's ideology. I will continue to do so and nobody can stop me from doing that. A lot of seers and people from the Lingayat community have come to my support. In fact, another Lingayat mutt in Rane Bennur (Haveri district) has given me shelter now. I will continue to follow Basavanna and his ideas,' Nijalinga Swamy said. However, once the matter triggered a controversy, he said some people started spreading rumours against his character and even falsely claimed that he had carried out financial misappropriation. 'I will not give up, but will live the rest of my life to propagate Basavanna's ideas,' he added. Some Muslims, especially in North Karnataka, are ardent followers of the 12th-century social reformer Basavanna, who advocated for equality regardless of caste or religious background. Some of them have also taken deeksha. In 2020, Diwan Sharief Rahimsab Mulla, a 33-year-old former autorickshaw driver, took Deeksha, becoming the fourth Muslim to head a Lingayat mutt in 300 years.

Tipu Sultan water supply remark sparks political row
Bengaluru: Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa has sparked a controversy with his recent remarks crediting Tipu Sultan with an early vision for agricultural water supply infrastructure in the state. The minister, speaking at an event in Srirangapatna, claimed that the 18th-century ruler had planned to supply water for agricultural use and had even laid the foundation stone for the Kannambadi dam, now submerged under the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir. 'The stone still stands at the KRS gate with a Persian inscription dated 1794, found during the dam's construction in 1911,' Mahadevappa said, suggesting that Tipu Sultan may have envisaged an irrigation project more than a century before the KRS dam was built under Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. His remarks have drawn sharp criticism from right-wing groups, particularly the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. State spokesperson Mohan Gowda called the minister's claims 'laughable,' saying they amounted to historical distortion. 'It is shameful for a responsible minister to mislead the public. He must apologise immediately,' Gowda said in a statement. The group also challenged Mahadevappa's comments portraying Tipu Sultan as a religiously tolerant ruler. Citing alleged historical incidents—including the destruction of temples in Kodagu and Srirangapatna, forced conversions, and language imposition—the Samiti accused Tipu of being a religious bigot. The controversy has revived longstanding debates in Karnataka over the legacy of Tipu Sultan, a historical figure viewed by some as a valiant freedom fighter and by others as a despotic ruler. While political parties in the state have often been divided over his portrayal in textbooks and commemorations, Mahadevappa's latest remarks have once again brought the issue to the forefront of public discourse. The minister is yet to respond to demands for an apology.
