Iran releases first video of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei amid speculations about his deteriorating health condition
The undated footage contradicts conflicting reports about the Supreme Leader's health and whereabouts, with verification of its authenticity remaining unclear.
- Iran's Mehr news agency released an undated 12-second video of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei discussing strategy with advisors, urging viewers to "Watch a new video of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei for the first time."
- The 56-year-old leader has not appeared publicly since the US-Iran war began earlier this year, while multiple Israeli media outlets claimed he is in an "extremely critical condition" and hospitalized.
- President Masoud Pezeshkian recently claimed communicating with Khamenei is "very difficult at the moment," and reports indicate he met a man claiming to be the leader in a "dark, tinted-window car" in Tehran.
- The Supreme Leader's office rejected Pezeshkian's request for a follow-up meeting, while Khamenei notably skipped the funeral of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, despite his three brothers attending.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed Khamenei's health remains critical amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict, as observers monitor developments following the February 28 death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
