US Force X Post Says Intelligence Sources Claim Mojtaba Khamenei In Coma After Airstrike; Death Also Suggested

The US Force said in a statement posted on their official X handle that Mojtaba Khamenei, who recently became Iran’s new Supreme Leader, was critically wounded in an airstrike.

The post claimed the attack caused severe injuries and left him in a coma.

According to the statement, Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly lost a leg in the strike.

The message suggested that the operation was intended to demonstrate that no leader is beyond reach.

Mojtaba Khamenei assumed the position of Supreme Leader after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, during the ongoing conflict involving the United States and its allies.

Iran’s clerical leadership appointed him to lead the country amid escalating regional tensions.

The 56-year-old cleric had long been considered influential within Iran’s political and security establishment before taking the top leadership role.

The US Force post also cited intelligence inputs suggesting that Mojtaba Khamenei might already have been killed in the airstrike.

The statement, however, acknowledged that the exact status of the Iranian leader remains uncertain.

So far, authorities in Iran have not issued any official confirmation regarding the alleged injuries or reports of his death.

With conflicting claims circulating online, analysts say the situation remains highly uncertain.

Verified details about Mojtaba Khamenei’s condition are yet to emerge, and observers expect further clarity only if Iranian officials release an official statement in the coming days.
