The source said that “Mojtaba Khamenei was in a coma at Loghman Hospital and is now dead”.
Presently, there is no verified evidence that Mojtaba Khamenei is dead.
What Verified Information Says
Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed Iran’s Supreme Leader in March 2026 after the death of his father.
Reports confirm he survived the airstrike that killed several family members, although he may have been injured.
There have been conflicting reports about his condition.
Some media claims suggested he was injured or possibly in a coma after an attack.
Speculation and rumors online have gone as far as claiming he is dead.
However, these claims are not confirmed by credible international or official sources.
Iranian officials insist he is alive and carrying out leadership duties.
Some reports even indicate he has issued statements or appeared in controlled settings, though public visibility is limited.
Other Sources
President Donald Trump of the United States said on March 15 that he heard rumors that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be dead.
Two days earlier, on March 13, President Trump had said that the Iranian Supreme Leader is alive but “damaged.”
“I think he’s probably alive in some form,” Trump was quoted as saying.
Trump had, meanwhile, signaled support for killing Mojtaba Khamenei if he rejects his demands, according to WSJ reports.
He had not hidden his displeasure with the new leader.
He said he is “not happy” Mojtaba Khamenei was selected as Iran’s new Supreme Leader.
Bottom Line
Claim: Mojtaba Khamenei is dead in hospital.
Reality: No confirmed evidence — he is believed to be alive, though possibly injured.
