Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is in a coma, reports Israeli media outlet Ynet News, citing Iran International. The Assembly of Experts allegedly chose his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as his successor during a secret meeting on September 26. The decision is being kept secret to avoid potential public backlash. These reports are yet to be confirmed by the Iranian authorities.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is reportedly in a coma, and his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has allegedly been chosen as his successor, according to a report by Israeli media outlet Ynet News, which cited Iran International.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the 85-year-old leader, was reportedly selected during a secret meeting of the Assembly of Experts on September 26. The meeting, convened at Khamenei’s request, was reportedly marked by intense pressure on the 60-member assembly to reach a unanimous decision, with alleged threats from Khamenei and his representatives.

Over the past two years, Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly gained significant influence within Iran's regime. Though rarely seen in public, he is known for his alleged role in suppressing the 2009 post-election protests. In 2021, he was granted the title of ayatollah, fulfilling a constitutional requirement to serve as Supreme Leader.

The report claims the decision to name Mojtaba as successor was deliberately kept secret to avoid widespread public backlash. Iran International reported, “The assembly resolved to maintain maximum secrecy over the decision due to fears of widespread public protests.” Members were reportedly warned of severe consequences if any information about the meeting was leaked.

Sources suggest that Khamenei intends to transfer power to his son while still alive, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing potential opposition.

Earlier on Saturday, reports emerged claiming that Khamenei had fallen into a coma. These rumors followed an October report by The New York Times, which stated that the Supreme Leader is “seriously ill.” However, Iranian authorities have not released any official statements confirming or denying these claims.

These alleged developments come as the Iranian regime faces increasing internal and external pressures, underscoring efforts to maintain control amid mounting challenges.

Meanwhile amid rumors about his health condition, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has met with Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani.

On Sunday, the Iranian supreme leader shared a photo of himself and Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon on his official X account with the caption: “Ayatollah Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, met and talked with Mr. Mojtaba Amani, the veteran ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Lebanon, at noon today, on the sidelines of his daily meetings.”

Amani, who was injured in a September explosion in Lebanon that killed 39 people and injured nearly 3,000, reportedly briefed Khamenei on his recovery and current health status, according to an official statement. Iran and Hezbollah blamed the explosion on Israel, though details remain disputed.

This development came after Khamenei delivered his first sermon in five years on October 5, following Iran’s missile strikes targeting critical infrastructure in Israel. Addressing a crowd in Tehran, Khamenei declared, “Israel won’t last long,” reiterating his support for Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements.

The rare sermon also saw Khamenei justifying the missile strikes as a “public service” and asserting Iran’s backing of Hamas and Hezbollah. “Israel will not prevail against Hamas or Hezbollah,” Khamenei stated, holding a firearm as he spoke to tens of thousands of supporters at a mosque in Tehran.

Iran has maintained strong ties with both Hamas and Hezbollah, who are currently engaged in conflicts with Israeli forces on the southern and northern fronts.

While managing your personal finance can be a challenge, managing as a couple presents an even bigger problem. Managing finances within a relationship is a crucial aspect of building a strong partnership. It involves open communication, shared financial goals, and a clear plan for handling money matters together.  Here are some key principles and strategies for effective relationship and financial management. Open Communication Communication is the foundation of successful financial management in a relationship. A good place to start is disclosure. A couple should be willing to disclose their income and the source(s) to each other.  You will be surprised to know that this information is not readily available in some relationships. Or maybe you're not. While in some climes, couples are quite open about their finances, in others, this is not the case because of culture. Disclosure is not really important. Individuals work with optics and build data in their minds. Also, non-disc...
