Iran’s new leader Khamenei in critical condition: what is known

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in serious condition and unable to carry out his duties.

The Times of Israel writes about this.

According to the publication, Khamenei is unconscious and receiving treatment in the city of Qom. He does not participate in state decision-making.

A diplomatic note from US-Israeli intelligence, which was passed on to allies in the Persian Gulf, said the leader’s condition remains serious.

Media outlets note that this is the first time that information about his whereabouts has been publicly available since the start of the war. It was previously assumed that he was injured during the first strikes in late February.

The document also mentions preparations for the burial of his father, Ali Khamenei, in Qom after his death at the beginning of the conflict.

It was previously reported that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded may prevent him from appearing in public. This is indicated by the lack of video or audio messages from the Iranian leadership.

As a reminder, the newly elected Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, was injured on the first day of the US and Israeli military operation.
