Khamenei’s Coma Rumors: Fact-Check Debunks Claims
Social media posts alleging that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is in a coma following a New York Times report of his serious illness, lack credible evidence. While the NYT article detailed Khamenei’s poor health and potential succession plans, no reputable news sources have corroborated the coma claims. These rumors, including circulated images debunked as being from 2014, should be treated with caution. Khamenei was last publicly seen on November 7th.
