Reports have emerged indicating that Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader is in a comatose state. Mojtaba Khamenei has allegedly lost at least one leg and suffered significant damage to his stomach or liver following airstrikes that left him critically injured.

As cited by UK media outlets such as the Sun and Daily Mail, Khamenei is currently undergoing intensive treatment at Sina University Hospital, located in the historic district of Tehran. Security forces have purportedly secured a segment of the hospital building amidst heightened concern over his health.

An unnamed source has reported that Khamenei is under the care of Mohammad Reza Zafargjani, Iran's Health Minister and a leading trauma surgeon, known for his extensive experience during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Zafargjani, who survived chemical weapon attacks during that conflict, is seen as a trusted figure in the regime's medical hierarchy.

It is believed that he is being assisted by Dr. Mohammad Marashi, a senior surgeon with close ties to the Islamic regime, which adds a layer of assurance regarding Khamenei's medical treatment.

Two days prior, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly visited Khamenei, suggesting that he is being kept fully informed of the leader's critical condition.

Communication from the source, relayed to an exiled dissident in London, conveyed dire details: 'One or two of his legs have been cut off. His liver or stomach has also ruptured. He is apparently in a coma as well.'

In the absence of Khamenei's public appearances for several weeks, the country is currently being managed by regional commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who are expected to continue efforts to assert control indefinitely.
