The outlet said rumours that the younger Khamenei is in an \u201cextremely critical condition\u201d and could die soon are circulating within Iran\u2019s highest levels of government.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>One source close to the Pezeshkian administration told IranWire that Khamenei\u2019s physical condition was poor, adding that officials \u201cwould not be surprised\u201d if they soon heard news of his death.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The claims have not been independently verified. Iranian authorities have not announced that Khamenei is critically ill, while reports circulating in Israeli media have also claimed that he was recently taken to hospital. These reports cite Iranian sources but have not provided independent evidence of his current condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The speculation has been amplified by Khamenei\u2019s unusually low public profile since taking over as supreme leader. He has made no public appearances or televised speeches since assuming the position, with Iranian state media publishing only written statements attributed to him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>That absence has led to repeated questions about his health and ability to govern, particularly after reports that he was injured in the February strike that killed his father.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Iranian officials have previously disputed reports that his injuries were severe. <!-- -->State-linked officials have described his injuries as limited and maintained that he remains involved in strategic decision-making.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>President Pezeshkian himself said in a state television interview this week that communicating with Khamenei was currently \u201cvery difficult\u201d, adding another layer to speculation surrounding the supreme leader&#8217;s condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Separately, a report by Iran International, said Pezeshkian was taken to an undisclosed location in Tehran for a brief meeting with a man presented as Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. <!-- -->According to the report, the meeting took place inside a darkened vehicle and Pezeshkian was unable to see the man\u2019s face. He later reportedly questioned whether the voice he heard actually belonged to Khamenei.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The claims come as Iran remains under intense pressure following the conflict with the US and Israel and amid difficult negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal reported that Pezeshkian and other officials have struggled to gain access to Khamenei, who has remained largely absent from public view.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
