ALBAWABA - Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei is the talk of social media after a plethora of Israeli media outlets and users spread information about the individual reportedly being in a coma or dead. Moreover, they added that Khamenei's condition is critical.

Outlets including 'Israel News Pulse' on X (formerly known as Twitter) claimed that Former U.S. Army National Security Advisor, General McMaster said that Iran would announce the death of Iran's leader soon without giving a specific time slot.

His condition remains unknown since no official outlet or Iranian authorities announced anything factual about the matter in question.

Israel News Pulse also claimed that French and Turkish sources are also reporting the death of Iran's leader without giving a source, deeming the news questionable among users on X, as they demanded sources.

According to Turkey Today, other Israeli media shared "false" news about Khamenei being in a coma by posting a picture of him in a hospital lying in bed which proved to be from his visit in 2014. The old photo shared on social media has been deleted by the time of writing this article.
