Speculative reports from Tehran claim that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has fallen into a coma and is in critical condition.
It is reported that senior government officials discreetly selected a successor for the 85-year-old leader in September.
This news emerges amidst Iran’s escalating conflict with Israel.
According to sources, the secret succession plan includes Khamenei potentially stepping down before his death. Iran International suggests that his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, is set to take over the leadership role while his father is still alive.
