Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is reportedly in a coma with at least one leg amputated following a US air strike ordered by President Donald Trump that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on 28 February. The 56-year-old, who took over five days ago, has not appeared in public since, amid claims from a source in Tehran that he also suffered ruptured liver or stomach damage.
