Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is reportedly in a coma and may have lost a leg following a recent airstrike during the escalating conflict in the Middle East, according to India today reports.
The reports claim that the strike left the Iranian leader critically injured, sparking intense speculation about his condition and who is currently exercising authority within the Iranian government.

Several outlets reported that Mojtaba Khamenei suffered severe injuries during an airstrike that killed his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Some claims suggest he may have lost one leg and is currently in a coma, though these reports remain disputed.
Iranian officials have pushed back against the rumors, insisting that the new leader is alive and functioning despite injuries sustained during the attack.
Because Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since his appointment, uncertainty around his health has continued to fuel speculation.

Mojtaba Khamenei assumed leadership after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a major airstrike targeting senior Iranian officials in Tehran.
Following the attack, Iran’s Assembly of Experts quickly moved to appoint Mojtaba as the country’s new Supreme Leader amid the ongoing war and political instability.
His sudden rise to power during wartime has made him one of the most closely watched figures in global politics.
With reports suggesting the leader may be critically injured, analysts say the real power in Iran may currently lie with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and senior government officials.
Some observers believe that if Mojtaba Khamenei is indeed incapacitated, Iran’s military and political leadership could be making key decisions behind the scenes.
The reports come amid an intensifying conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which has already resulted in significant casualties and rising tensions across the Middle East.
Statements attributed to the new Supreme Leader have also warned of retaliation and potential disruptions to major oil routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, increasing concerns about global energy markets.
The health condition of Iran’s new Supreme Leader remains unclear, with conflicting reports circulating about whether Mojtaba Khamenei is in a coma or recovering from injuries sustained in the airstrike.
Until the Iranian government provides clearer evidence of his condition, speculation about his leadership and Iran’s political stability is likely to continue.
