Mojtaba Khamenei Unconscious, unable to make decisions related to War: Report

April 7, 2026

Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is reportedly unconscious and receiving treatment for a severe medical condition. The reports suggesting the alleged unwell condition of Iran’s Supreme Leader came at a time when US President Donald Trump issued fresh threats to take out Iran in one night.

As per the report, which cited an intelligence assessment, Khamenei is undergoing treatment for his condition in the holy city of Qom.

A diplomatic memo, based on inputs from US and Israeli intelligence and shared with Gulf allies, stated that the 56-year-old cleric is incapacitated and unable to participate in any decision-making for the regime.

The assessment about Iran’s Supreme Leader’s health has been circulated among Western and regional intelligence networks. However, the claims have not been verified by Iranian authorities.

Where is Khamenei?

It is important to note that Khamenei has made no public appearances since the escalation of the West Asia conflict. Statements attributed to him about the ongoing conflict have instead been released through Iranian state media.

The report also mentioned an unverified claim that preparations were underway in Qom for the burial of his father, the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Let us tell you that Mojataba Khamenei’s father, Late Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint US-Israeli air strikes on the very first day.

Iran and US tensions

This development came as tensions between the US and Iran are at their highest. US President Donald Trump has issued a firm ultimatum to Iran, demanding a deal to end the conflict by 8 pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

He warned of severe consequences, including the destruction of infrastructure, if Tehran fails to comply, stating that Iran has already been significantly weakened.
