Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, reportedly requires plastic surgery due to severe facial burns sustained from Israeli air strikes on February 28. His health issues have resulted in a lack of public communication, with no audio or video messages since the incident. Four Iranian officials disclosed that Khamenei's injuries have made it difficult for him to speak, and he is also awaiting a prosthetic leg after undergoing multiple surgeries. This situation has led to a delegation of authority to military leaders, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is now heavily involved in Iran's strategic decisions, including negotiations with the United States. The ongoing internal divisions within Iran complicate the country's diplomatic efforts, as highlighted by U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks on the challenges posed by unclear leadership in Tehran. Reports indicate that messages to Khamenei are carefully relayed through trusted couriers to maintain his security amid fears of targeted attacks.
