Rumors are circulating that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, at the age of 85, has fallen into a coma. Reports from various sources, including those close to Tehran's regime, suggest that Khamenei's health has been deteriorating due to terminal cancer. Amidst these health concerns, there are unconfirmed reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, Ali's son, has been secretly named as the next supreme leader of Iran. The Assembly of Experts allegedly chose Mojtaba during an 'exceptionally unusual meeting' on September 26, indicating a potential succession plan. However, skepticism surrounds these rumors, as no official confirmation has been provided, and some sources question the reliability of the information.
