Mojtaba Khamenei in Coma? Reports Claim Lost Leg as Iran Leader Issues First Statement
•Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, made his first statement via state media, but did not appear on camera, fueling speculation about his health.
•Reports conflict on his injuries from US-Israeli strikes: Reuters cited "lightly injured," CNN reported a fractured foot, while The Sun claimed he's in a coma and lost a leg.
•Khamenei's statement, read by an anchor, vowed revenge and signaled a continuation of his father's anti-US/Israel strategy, including closing the Strait of Hormuz.
•The Sun suggests his statement was a "bizarre attempt to cover up" severe injuries, including liver/stomach damage, with him reportedly under intensive care at Sina University Hospital.
•Amid "Ghost Ayatollah" theories, the IRGC reportedly pushed Khamenei's appointment, viewing him as a compliant successor to support their hardline policies.
