Is Iran’s New Supreme Leader Seriously Wounded and Secretly Treated in Russia?
Rumours are flying that Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s newly crowned Supreme Leader, was badly hurt in a recent US-Israeli airstrike. Some say he’s now receiving secret medical treatment in Russia, sparking wild speculation about whether he’s even alive – and if he’s still pulling the strings in Tehran.
Secret Russian Hospital or Iranian ICU? Conflicting Accounts Emerge
Kuwaiti paper Al-Jarida claims a “high-ranking” insider revealed Khamenei was rushed by a Russian military jet to one of Putin’s luxury palaces for emergency surgery. Reportedly arranged by Putin himself, the operation was a success because Iran’s hospitals couldn’t handle his injuries amid relentless attacks. But there’s a twist. A source close to an exiled Iranian dissident in London told The Sun Khamenei is actually in Mashhad’s Sina University Hospital. The insider warned the leader is “very serious,” possibly lost one or both legs, and suffered ruptured organs. He’s said to be in a coma under the care of Iran’s top trauma surgeon, Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi.
Chaos Inside Iran: No One Knows If He’s Alive
An Iranian official, speaking confidentially to The Telegraph, confessed: “No one knows anything about Mojtaba, whether he is alive or dead or how badly injured. He has no control over the war because he is not here.” Confusion reigns among officials and commanders alike. Adding fuel to the fire, Pentagon’s Pete Hegseth claimed Khamenei was “wounded and likely disfigured.” Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump told NBC News: “I don’t know if he’s even alive. So far, nobody’s been able to show him,” hinting heavily at rumours the leader might be dead.
Israel ‘Knows Where He Is’ as Tehran’s Leadership Faces Turmoil
An Israeli security insider revealed bluntly, “We know where he is,” but warned not to trust Iranian state propaganda. Earlier, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz sent a chilling warning on X (formerly Twitter): any successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be a “certain target for assassination, no matter his name or where he hides.” Since taking power after his father’s assassination on 28 February, Mojtaba has only released one statement — condemning attacks on US bases and vowing revenge. He has notably made no public appearances since.
Israel Strikes Another Blow, Destroying Khamenei Family Jet
Tensions soared as the Israel Defence Forces announced they destroyed a private jet owned by the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport. The IDF said the aircraft was crucial for regime officials’ military purchases and communications with allies. Its destruction will “damage the Iranian terrorist regime’s leadership coordination capabilities,” they warned. With Iran’s leadership clouded in mystery and chaos swirling, one question burns brighter than ever: who really runs Iran’s war effort now?
