Iran’s New Supreme Leader, Rumored Dead or Wounded in Airstrike, Taken to Moscow for Surgery
Conflicting reports continue to swirl around Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Ayatollah of Iran, leaving observers uncertain about his condition and whereabouts. While some sources suggest he is fully in charge of the nation, others claim he has sustained serious injuries—ranging from a broken leg and facial wounds to being disfigured or in a coma. U.S. President Donald J. Trump even stated that Khamenei is “not alive.”

According to recent reports from Kuwaiti media, Mojtaba Khamenei may have been transported to Moscow for urgent leg surgery. The Daily Mail described the situation: “Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, assumed leadership after the assassination of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on February 28. Following an airstrike, several reports indicated he might be in a coma, with some, including President Trump, suggesting he has died. Others claim he may be unaware he is now Iran’s Supreme Leader amid ongoing conflict.”
Al-Jarida reports that Khamenei’s injuries necessitated a move to Russia, where President Vladimir Putin allegedly offered assistance. The operation reportedly involved a covert extraction using a Russian military aircraft, after which the Ayatollah was taken to one of Putin’s presidential residences for surgery, described as successful.

While these details remain unverified, Al-Jarida cites a “high-ranking source close to the new Iranian Supreme Leader” as the origin of the information. The lack of official confirmation leaves the situation highly uncertain, and speculation about Khamenei’s health and leadership continues to dominate headlines.
