Think about this for a moment. If you were him you are disfigured from Facial injuries and at the very least you have a leg messed up or even cut off and then your Dad and Wife and all your children have just been killed in the same blast that you almost died in.
How are you doing if you can imagine this? Could you lead a nation in mourning for the Old Guard or are you temporarily crazy or even insane or so physically wounded as to not be functional at all in any way, shape or form? Or are you dead or soon to be dead?
We don't have the answers to any of these questions really at all, especially in the news. Obviously some people know the answer to all these questions whether he is alive and functional or not but they aren't saying (at least to the public now) or possibly ever.
Also, this is a 56 year old man in a country where people might not live that long to begin with.
Life expectancy for a man in Iran is presently 75 or 76 years old there so it is possible his health is good enough to survive this. but, how about his mental health? I don't have the answers to any of these questions and likely neither do you.
