Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is reportedly assisting in the medical treatment of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei after injuries sustained in recent military strikes. Khamenei has remained out of public view since taking office, fuelling concerns about his health and leadership. Analysts warn prolonged absence could shift power toward military institutions amid ongoing regional conflict.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is trained as a heart surgeon, is reportedly playing a direct role in the treatment of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei following injuries sustained during recent military strikes, according to regional media reports.

According to reports, Pezeshkian, along with Iran’s health minister, has been closely supervising and participating in the medical care of Khamenei. The reports come at a time of heightened pressure on Iran’s leadership, with Donald Trump recently describing the Iranian government as “seriously fractured,” citing internal divisions after months of conflict.

International media reports suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured during attacks that killed his predecessor, Ali Khamenei, and other senior figures. Since assuming leadership in March 2026, he has not appeared publicly, fuelling speculation about his health and capacity to govern.

Iran’s political and military structure has faced repeated disruptions following strikes reportedly carried out by the United States and Israel beginning February 28. Several high-ranking officials, including military commanders and political leaders, have reportedly been killed in successive attacks.
