Washington. Amidst the change of power in Iran and the ongoing conflict, there is speculation globally regarding the health of the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Recently, US President Donald Trump has indicated during an interview that Mojtaba Khamenei may be alive, but he is seriously injured. According to international reports, Mojtaba Khamenei’s condition is extremely critical and he may currently be in a coma. According to claims, he lost one of his legs in the attack and also suffered serious damage to his internal organs, especially his stomach or liver. According to unconfirmed reports, Tehran’s Sena University Hospital has been transformed into an impregnable fortress, where he is being treated under heavy security.
This statement has come at a time when Mojtaba has not made his public appearance even once since assuming office. President Trump responded to Mojtaba’s condition in an interview with international media, saying that he believed the Iranian leader was probably alive, but suffering some form of serious injury. Trump’s comments lend credence to intelligence reports which claimed that Mojtaba was also badly affected by the February 28 airstrike that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Amidst this mysterious silence, an official statement was issued by Mojtaba Khamenei on Iran’s state television. However, the special thing about this address was that it was not read by the Supreme Leader himself, but was read out by the anchor. In this message, a direct and strong warning has been given to America. The statement demanded that all American military bases in the region be closed with immediate effect, otherwise fierce attacks would be launched on them. This message, issued in the name of Mojtaba, also said that Iran will recover damages from the enemy for this imposed war. If their conditions are not met, Iran will not shy away from confiscating the properties of the conflicting parties or destroying properties of similar value. At present, the Supreme Leader’s non-appearance in public is raising many big security and political questions inside and outside Iran.
