Iran's Supreme Leader Reportedly Near Death, Opposition Outlet Claims
- Israeli media reported on Friday that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in critical condition and has been rushed to a hospital, with new reports indicating he could die imminently.
- Khamenei has not made any public appearances since assuming power following joint US-Israeli military strikes on February 28, 2026, which killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
- Reports indicate Mojtaba was disfigured in the initial attack, forcing him into hiding and compelling him to communicate with senior regime figures through a slow network of intermediaries to avoid targeting.
- President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged direct interaction is 'very difficult,' while Saudi news outlet Hadath cited an Israeli security source claiming the leader is not currently in Iran.
- Earlier, President Donald Trump asserted on Fox News that Iran's top military leadership was eliminated, claiming Khamenei was '90% gone' and incapacitated following the military campaign.
