Multiple social media posts surfaced Saturday claiming that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 85, is in a state of coma. The claims started going viral on social media on the heels of a report by the New York Times earlier in October that Ali Khamenei is "seriously ill."
The New York Times report, published on October 27, claimed that Khamenei is suffering from a major medical condition and is believed to be "seriously ill." The report went as far as to claim that Ali Khamenei's eldest son, Mojtaba Khamenei, would succeed him.
