(File image via X) Since taking over as Iran’s Supreme Leader after his father was killed in US-Israeli strikes in late February, Mojtaba Khamenei’s health has remained under intense scrutiny, with questions repeatedly raised over his condition and even his whereabouts.
Iran has denied reports questioning his status, but fresh claims have emerged, with Israeli media reporting that he is in critical condition and has been hospitalised. Israeli outlet Channel 14, citing sources inside Iran, claimed that Khamenei’s condition was “extremely critical". The reports also referred to claims by IranWire, which cited sources close to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration. IranWire Sources Claim Health Concerns IranWire reported that two sources close to the Pezeshkian administration said Mojtaba Khamenei had not met any cabinet members since the US attack on the Supreme Leader’s compound that killed his father and other family members on February 28.
According to the report, rumours that he is in an extremely critical condition and could die at any moment are circulating within senior levels of Iran’s leadership. A source close to Pezeshkian’s cabinet was quoted as saying his physical condition was poor. “We would not be surprised if we heard news of his martyrdom soon," the source said.
