Media report: Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Seriously Injured and in a Coma, Deal May Be Hard to Reach Before Tuesday’s Final Deadline

According to a report by the British newspaper The Times, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is currently in a coma and is receiving treatment in Iran’s holy city of Qom. The information comes from a diplomatic memo, based on intelligence from the United States and Israel.

The report says that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the joint US-Israeli airstrike on 2月28日, in which his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was killed.

At age 56, Mojtaba was subsequently appointed as the new Supreme Leader, but since the outbreak of the war he has not appeared in public, prompting widespread speculation about his health condition.

The report shows that Mojtaba Khamenei’s current condition is serious—he is no longer able to participate in any decision-making process. This further deepens questions about who actually has control of Iran.

Although Iranian officials officially insist that he is still handling state affairs, there is no direct audio or video evidence of him speaking; only a signed statement read on state television.

Meanwhile, preparations for burying the body of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei are underway in Qom, and other family members may also be laid to rest there. This sign further heightens external concerns about the life safety of current Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

Even though US and Israeli intelligence agencies previously claimed they had tracked his whereabouts, as the final ultimatum deadline set by Trump (by this Tuesday) approaches, if Iran’s top leadership falls into a power vacuum, it will undoubtedly add major new variables to the already volatile situation in the Persian Gulf.

As of now, both Washington and Tehran have yet to issue an official response to the reports.
