According to the website IranWire, Mojtaba Khamenei's condition is critical and he could be near death. The information comes from two anonymous sources and reveals that Khamenei has not met with Iranian government members since the death of his father, Ali Khamenei.

One of the cited sources stated that it would not be surprising if news of his martyrdom emerged soon, raising concerns about his health and the stability of Iranian leadership.
