There is currently no confirmed report from the New York Times or other major outlets verifying that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is terminally ill or that there is an ongoing internal struggle over his succession. While Khamenei’s potential successors have been a topic of analysis, particularly following the recent death of a leading candidate, Ebrahim Raisi, this succession conversation has been speculative, focusing largely on Raisi and Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, as likely candidates.
Following Raisi’s death in May 2024, there has indeed been increased discussion and speculation about who might succeed Khamenei due to his advanced age, but no official statements have suggested that Khamenei is in critical health or that succession has officially commenced.
If new developments occur, they would likely receive significant coverage from reliable news sources.
more from the NY Times: Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, aged 85, is reportedly seriously ill.
His second oldest son, Mojtaba Khamenei, likely to succeed him when he dies.
J-POST on the story: The report noted that Khamenei's serious medical condition created a "quiet battle" over his succession. It also stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps would have a say in who would become the Ayatollah's successor....
