Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly unconscious and undergoing treatment in Qom after sustaining injuries in US-Israeli strikes that killed his father, Ali Khamenei. According to reports citing intelligence shared with Gulf allies, he is in severe condition and unable to participate in decision-making. His absence from public view since assuming leadership had already fuelled speculation about his status. While Iranian officials maintain he remains in charge, earlier statements attributed to him and released visuals suggested continued involvement. The report marks the first disclosure of his location, raising fresh questions about Iran’s leadership stability amid ongoing regional conflict. (PC: AP)
