Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is reported to have slipped into a coma and remains “seriously ill”, according to the speculative reports coming in from Tehran.
The reports say that an assembly of senior government officers had elected a successor to the 85-year-old Supreme Leader in September.
This development has come at a time when the country is involved in an intensifying conflict with Israel.
According to reports, Tehran secretly picked its successor in late September with the ailing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei possibly abdicating before his death. An Iran International report suggests that his son Mojtaba Khamenei will assume the top role while his father is alive.
