Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t met any Iranian cabinet members since the US-Israeli strikes that killed his father and predecessor, Ali Khamenei, the opposition-aligned IranWire outlet reports, citing two unnamed sources close to President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration.

The sources claim that “rumors that he is in extremely critical condition and could pass away at any moment are circulating widely within the highest levels of the regime.”

One of the sources is quoted as saying: “We would not be surprised if we heard news of his martyrdom soon.”

Rumors? Possibly, but from multiple sources.

The Iranian Mullah Regime is only able maintain some control, Qatar money. Pakistan bridging between USA and IRGC.

In war, the first casualty? The Truth.

The Truth is the most powerful internal weapon.

Part of the problem with wiping out all the leaders is who to make a deal with when nobody is really in charge. To the demons who still want to rule Iran I suggest an election would at least make it clear who should be in charge. Ask our Democrats how to steal that . They are the World’s best experts at cheating

[Jonty30]

Still?

[Texas Fossil]

Yep.

[Libloather]

Big Mo goes down. (not anatomically correct)

[Texas Fossil]

The replacement Supreme Leader (the son) has not been seen sense the bombing of the the original Supreme Leader's home was smoked.

The son has been in bad condition since then.

This is a little different than previous statements of the seriousness of the injuries of the son (Mullah). And coming from multiple sources.

[Texas Fossil]

Eventually, we will eliminating even the cardboard.

[Celtic Conservative]

This guy has been dead for 6 months.

[Machavelli]

So the DEVIL has martyrs?

[bert]

His death will be, must be, the will of Allah

[Texas Fossil]

Islamist’s are only focused on Death. Only path out in Iran? Kill all of the Insane so called leaders.

[bray]

God is more powerful than allah and always has been.

Fun fact, the cardboard ayatollah is constitutionally unqualified to be the supreme leader of Iran. Not because he’s made of a heavy corrugated paper product but because he’s not an ayatollah. He’s not a mujtahid which is the rank required as a prerequisite to becoming ayatollah. He is a hojjatoleslam, which is one level BELOW mujtahid. Inconvenient, yet amusing, facts to be sure.

[Texas Fossil]

Would not surprise me.

[Texas Fossil]

Agree

[Texas Fossil]

I don’t know much about their ranks.

Islamists are all Evil. And serve the wrong master.

[SoCal Pubbie]

The point is not so much the ranks, as I knew nothing before recently learning about them, but rather to reveal the inner workings of the regime. In short, the IRGC is running the show.

[Texas Fossil]

That was clear from the start. IRGC was in charge. Follow the money.

Without Qatar’s money, IRGC would have been gone long ago.

[fso301]

I bet he won’t die until there is a replacement

[VanShuyten]

He should go see Mitch McConnell’s doctor. That guy’s a miracle worker!
