Rumors regarding the critical condition of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei are spreading within the Iranian leadership, according to a report by the opposition media IranWire, citing two sources on August 6.
The report indicates that there are growing concerns about Khamenei's health, with speculation that he could pass away at any moment. One source noted that no members of the Iranian cabinet have met with Khamenei recently, stating, "We would not be surprised to hear news of his martyrdom soon."
Mojtaba Khamenei assumed the role of Supreme Leader on February 28 after the death of his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who died due to attacks from the United States and Israel.
Since then, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public, and no speeches have been broadcast. He has only issued statements without making public appearances, leading to various speculations about his health, including rumors of death, injury, disability, and hiding.
Previously, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian mentioned in an interview with state media on August 5 that communication with Mojtaba Khamenei is currently "very difficult."
