Iran’s new impotent supreme leader releases first statement — after reports emerge he is in coma, had leg amputated

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, released his first statement Thursday — after reports circulated that he was in a coma and had his leg amputated after being severely injured in the US-Israeli strikes that killed his father.

The message was read out on Iranian state TV by an anchor as an image of Khameni was displayed.

Khamenei still hasn’t been seen in public since he was appointed as his father’s successor earlier this week.
