Israeli media have reported that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been rushed to hospital in critical condition, though Iranian authorities have not confirmed the claim. Israel's Channel 14, citing sources inside Iran, said discussions within senior political circles suggest Khamenei is in an "extremely critical condition." The report follows an earlier Jerusalem Post article citing IranWire and sources allegedly close to President Masoud Pezeshkian's administration. One quoted source claimed they "would not be surprised" if news of Khamenei's martyrdom emerged soon. Previous reports had alleged Khamenei suffered serious injuries during strikes on his father's compound, forcing him to remain out of public view and communicate through intermediaries.
