In a bid to quell the explosive rumors surrounding the health of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has finally addressed the international community. Following Donald Trump’s sensational claims that Mojtaba might be dead, the global media was flooded with reports suggesting the leader was in a deep coma and had undergone a leg amputation due to injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike. Today, Araghchi attempted to debunk these claims, providing what he called the “real” account of the leader’s current state.

Foreign Minister Araghchi categorically denied that Mojtaba Khamenei is in a coma or has suffered any amputation. Labeling the reports as “malicious propaganda” by the Zionist regime and its allies, Araghchi asserted, “The Supreme Leader is fully conscious, alert, and actively leading the nation through this crisis. The rumors regarding his physical disability are entirely fabricated to demoralize our resistance.” However, Araghchi’s statement notably lacked any visual proof of the leader’s well-being, which critics argue is the only way to silence the skepticism.

Military analysts suggest that Araghchi’s clarification is a strategic maneuver to prevent a total collapse of order within Iran. With the war entering its 15th day on March 15, 2026, the absence of a video address from Mojtaba Khamenei remains the biggest piece of evidence against the regime’s claims. While the Foreign Minister insists that the leader is in high spirits and conducting regular briefings from a secure bunker, the world remains unconvinced. The pressure is mounting on Tehran to show a living, breathing Mojtaba Khamenei to prove that the “shadow leader” is indeed still in command.
