Speculation has been mounting over the whereabouts of Iran's injured new Supreme Leader with Kuwaiti media claiming he has been rushed to Moscow for emergency leg surgery.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following his assassination on February 28, but a string of reports have said he has been in a coma following an airstrike with some observers, including President Donald Trump, suggesting he is dead.

Khamenei is apparently unaware both that there is a war on and that he is the country's new leader.
