Mojtaba Khamenei, identified as Iran’s top leader, has been seriously injured and is currently unconscious, according to a report by The Times published on April 7, 2026. The report states that he is receiving treatment at a hospital in the city of Qom and is unable to make state decisions due to his condition.

The Times cited a joint U.S.-Israeli intelligence assessment sent to Gulf Arab states, which described Khamenei’s critical health status. This is reportedly the first detailed disclosure of his current medical condition. The same intelligence report also claimed that preparations are underway for the burial of his father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli attack in Iran on February 28.

Meanwhile, the report noted that the United States proposed a temporary ceasefire to ease tensions, but Tehran rejected it, demanding a permanent end to hostilities, permission to collect tolls from ships in the Strait of Hormuz, national reconstruction, and a halt to attacks on Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
