Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly in coma
April 07, 2026, 6:23 AM
Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is incapacitated and in a coma following serious injuries, according to a report from the British newspaper The Times citing a diplomatic memo. He is reportedly unable to participate in any regime decision-making and is receiving treatment in the holy city of Qom. The memo, as obtained by The Times, is the first to disclose the leader's location. Qom is a Shiite Islamic holy city located approximately 140 km south of Tehran. While U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies had previously stated they were tracking his movements, the power vacuum in Iran's leadership adds significant uncertainty to the situation in the Persian Gulf, particularly as a deadline set by President Trump approaches.
