ran has hit back against social media claims that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is close to death or in a coma, by publishing a picture of him meeting a Lebanese official.

The photo on X, formerly Twitter, purports to show a meeting between the Iranian leader and Mojtaba Amani, Iran's ambassador to Lebanon at noon Sunday, November 17, in Tehran.

Its publication followed tweets claiming Khamenei was in a coma or dead which had erupted on November 16.

I don't believe the Iranian government, but I don't put a lot of stock in chatter on X either.

Will the public pull his body out of the casket and pass it around like they did with Ayatollah Khomeini?

I’ve always wondered what happens to those who are so damned evil that even Satan might refuse to take them into Hell

[rdl6989]

He’s 85 years old.

That funeral was crazy, a lot like when Kim Il Sung died.

Dead is dead. But Mullahs have a special condition that exists outside life or death

The pope as well.

[BigEdLB]

The Pope is an ignorant fool. Not inheran tly evil, just stupid

[KingofZion]

Saw this as well. I would not be surprised if it is true as Iran is a black box and they will want to ensure seamless transition if true.

Ayatollah in a coma, I know, I know, it’s serious.....

No biggie, America hasn’t had a functioning leader in almost 4 years.

He’s dead, Jim.
