Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Reportedly in Critical Condition Amid Conflicting Reports
Reports from Israeli media claim Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in critical condition and hospitalized following injuries sustained in a February US-Israeli strike that killed his father. Sources close to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian suggest his health is poor, with speculation about his possible imminent death. Iran has denied these claims, releasing an undated video showing Khamenei appearing in good health. Since assuming leadership, Khamenei has avoided public appearances, communicating mainly through written statements, fueling ongoing uncertainty about his status.
