Reports claim Iran leader in coma, office shares photo of envoy meeting.

Numerous news outlets have recently alleged that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran is currently in a coma and has purportedly designated his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as his potential successor.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, posted a photo of his encounter with an Iranian ambassador on Sunday, refuting speculations about his alleged coma.

Numerous news outlets have recently alleged that Khamenei, aged 85, was unconscious and had designated his 55-year-old son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as his heir in a clandestine gathering. These reports surfaced following The New York Times’ publication in October indicating that Khamenei’s health was in a critical condition.

X posted a picture showing Khamenei conversing with Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani in the office.

Ayatollah Khamenei, the esteemed figure at the helm of the Islamic Revolution, engaged in a conversation today around midday with Mr. Mojtaba Amani, a seasoned ambassador representing the Islamic Republic of Iran in Lebanon, during his routine series of meetings, as reported in Persian.

Tragic Explosion in Lebanon and Khamenei’s Defiant Support for Hezbollah

In September, a tragic incident unfolded in Lebanon where Amani, along with almost 3,000 individuals, sustained injuries due to the detonation of pagers and walkie-talkies belonging to the Iran-supported Hezbollah faction. Regrettably, the explosion also resulted in the loss of 39 lives, with Iran and Hezbollah pointing fingers at Israel for the attack.

According to an official statement, Amani provided him with an update on his current health condition in the form of a report.

In the previous month, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered his inaugural sermon in five years following Iran’s firing of 180 missiles at key infrastructure in Israel.

Backing the Palestinian and Lebanese movements against Israel, he expressed doubt about Israel’s longevity during a rare sermon on October 5th.

Speaking to a large crowd of followers at a mosque in Tehran, Khamenei defended the missile attacks on Israel as an act of “serving the public”.

The leader of Iran confidently proclaimed that Israel would not succeed against Hamas or Hezbollah while brandishing a firearm during his speech.
