Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is reportedly “unconscious” and receiving treatment for a severe medical condition in Qom, about 87 miles south of Tehran.
Khamenei is incapacitated and unable to participate in governance or decision-making, according to a diplomatic memo based on intelligence inputs from the U.S. and Israel, which has been shared with Gulf allies, The Times reported on Tuesday.
In a separate and unverified claim, the report added that preparations are reportedly underway in Qom for the burial of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The U.S. National Security Agency did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s request for comments.
