IranWire: 'Khamenei in critical condition, may be on the verge of death'

The article reports on several international news developments. It begins by citing Iranian state media, IranWire, which claims that Mojtaba Khamenei, the third Supreme Leader of Iran, is in critical condition and possibly dying after his father and other family members were killed in an American attack on February 28. Two sources close to President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration confirm these rumors, noting that Khamenei has not appeared publicly since taking office and that his health status remains uncertain. The article then covers a separate development in Yemen, where three soldiers were killed in a new Houthi drone attack, followed by reports that Yemeni air defenses shot down multiple Houthi drones over Marib. Finally, it highlights UNICEF data showing that one child dies daily in Gaza since the ceasefire began in October 2025, despite ongoing humanitarian crises.
