Mojtaba Khamenei’s leg amputated, reached coma: If he is injured now, will Iran become more deadly?

A sensational claim has come to light amid the ongoing war and increasing tension in the Middle East. The British tabloid newspaper The Sun has said in its report that the alleged new Supreme Leader of Iran Mojtaba Khamenei Is seriously injured and is in coma. According to the report, he was injured in the US-Israel air strike on February 28 and his condition is very critical. However, this claim has not been officially confirmed by anyone. In such a situation, it is important to understand how much fact is there in this news and how true is the claim. Especially, after Donald Trump’s statement on this issue came out, people also want to know whether Mojtaba Khamenei is really injured and in a coma. Understand through five important points, how much truth is there in various claims regarding Mojtaba?

1. Was Mojtaba Khamenei injured in the air strike?

According to the report of The Sun, on February 28, America and Israel launched a military operation, which was named Operation Epic Fury. After this attack, there were reports in the media that Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly seriously injured. British newspaper sources claim that he suffered such serious injuries in the explosion that one of his legs had to be amputated and his stomach and liver were also damaged. This claim of the newspaper has not been confirmed by any independent international agency, American or Israeli official statement. Therefore, this claim is currently considered unconfirmed.

2. Is Iran’s new Supreme Leader really in a coma?

The report says that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is currently admitted in the ICU of Sina University Hospital in Tehran and is in a coma. It is being told that the part of the hospital where Mojtaba is admitted has been completely sealed and a large number of security forces are deployed there. His treatment is reportedly under the supervision of Iran’s Health Minister and trauma surgeon Mohammad Reza Jafarghandi. But the Iranian government or any official channel has not confirmed this news. It is said to be difficult to independently verify information due to internet blackout and war situation.

3. Did Mojtaba become the Supreme Leader after the death of his father?

The British newspaper report also claims that after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei has taken over the post of Supreme Leader on March 9, 2026. Let us mention here that in the political system of Iran, the Supreme Leader is elected by the Assembly of Experts. Some analysts believe that Mojtaba has long been influential in the inner circles of power and has been considered a possible successor. Even in this case, there has been no confirmation of his becoming the Supreme Leader in Iran’s official announcements yet. Therefore this claim is also not completely proven.

4. If he is in coma then who is running Iran’s war?

According to media reports, the most interesting claim is that even if Mojtaba Khamenei is in coma, under whose direction Iran’s military action is continuing. According to analysts, the reason for this is Iran’s military structure. The country’s most powerful military organization, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has divided the entire country into several regional commands. It is said that these command centers have been designed in such a way that the war machine continues to run even after the top leadership is gone. This is said to be the reason why missile and drone attacks are continuing.

5. Is an attempt being made to hide Mojtaba’s condition?

The report claims that Iranian state TV broadcast a statement in Mojtaba’s name, but it was read out by a news anchor. In this statement it was said that Iran will not back down from avenging the blood of its citizens and if necessary, it can take action up to closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Some analysts believe that if the leader is not coming forward in public then it gives strength to the rumours. In such a situation, it is also possible that they are not being presented publicly due to wartime security reasons.

Alive, but injured – Donald Trump’s claim

Meanwhile, in an interview given to Fox News, Donald Trump said that he thinks Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is injured. According to Trump, Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive, but he is in injured condition. In fact, ever since Mojtaba Khamenei became the Supreme Leader of Iran, he has not appeared in front of the public even once. His first address was also read by a TV anchor on Thursday.

Has the injured Mojtaba become more dangerous before?

These days, amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, many sensational news are coming out regarding Mojtaba Khamenei. Media reports claimed that he was seriously injured in the recent air strikes, one of his legs had to be amputated and he is in a coma. However, Iranian officials and people associated with the government have rejected these reports and said that he is alive and in a safe place. In some reports, it has been said that he suffered injuries in his legs. Meanwhile, speculations have intensified due to his not appearing in public.

What is the truth?

If we look at the whole story, The Sun’s report makes many big claims, such as serious injury in the air strike, amputation of leg and being in coma. But these claims have not yet been independently confirmed. Clear information has not come out from the Iranian government, international agencies or even reliable media institutions.

At present, it can be said that the news of Mojtaba Khamenei being in coma is a claim, which is yet to be confirmed. That means the question is still the same. Is Iran’s new Ayatollah alive, injured or really in a coma? The world has not yet got a clear answer to this.
