Iranian leader Ali Khamenei is in a coma, his condition is serious - media

Various mass media are reporting that the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, is in a coma and his condition is considered serious. Against the background of the news, Khamenei's possible successors are also being actively discussed. The country's government has not officially responded to the rumors.

Media reports that the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, is in a coma and his condition is considered serious. This information comes from Arab sources, but similar statements have appeared before, but have not been confirmed.

Telegram channel "Aleksey Zheleznov" writes about this.

Against the background of these reports, possible successors of Ayatollah are being actively discussed. One possible candidate is his second son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who already plays a major role in Iranian politics.

So far, there is no official confirmation about the condition of Ali Khamenei.

According to the information of the Iran International TV channel, Mujtaba Khamenei, the son of the current leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, was secretly elected as his deputy.

The decision was made by Iran's Supreme Council under strict secrecy to prevent possible mass protests.

The sources said that the extraordinary meeting of the council, which was called without prior notice by about 60 members, was held at the initiative of Ali Khamenei. Participants were strictly required to maintain confidentiality. Despite the contradictions, under the pressure of the supreme leader, all members of the council supported Mujtabo's candidacy.

This move underscores the strategic importance of continuity of power in Iran. Fearing instability after his death, Ali Khamenei is thinking about transferring power to his son during his lifetime. In recent years, he has actively involved Mujtaba in key management processes, gradually preparing him for a leadership role.

However, the decision caused serious criticism. Mujtaba has no government experience and has not held official positions, raising doubts about his authority. In addition, attempts to transfer power within a dynastic scenario may increase public resentment and provoke protests, especially when the domestic political situation worsens.

If this appointment is officially implemented, it can have a significant impact on the future of the country, increase internal conflicts and increase pressure on the ruling regime.
