According to US-Israeli intelligence assessments cited by The Times, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is unconscious and undergoing treatment for a severe medical condition in Qom. The report states he is unable to participate in governance or decision-making. Khamenei was announced as Supreme Leader on March 8 following his father Ali Khamenei's death in US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28. He has not appeared publicly since then, with only written statements and videos released.
