Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has made headlines following reports that claimed he was in a coma. In an attempt to quell growing rumors regarding his health, Khamenei’s office released a new photograph of the 85-year-old leader on Monday. The image shows Khamenei sitting at his desk, looking alert and engaged in conversation with officials.
Earlier reports had sparked concern across the region, with sources suggesting that the Iranian leader had suffered a health setback, prompting fears of a potential leadership vacuum. These claims fueled speculation, with some suggesting that Khamenei was in a coma or critically ill.
Khamenei’s office did not address the specifics of his health, but the photo seems to be a direct response to rumors. The release comes just days after media reports claimed that several high-ranking officials in the Iranian government had been dispatched to his residence amid concerns about his condition.
The photograph, which has been widely circulated on social media and Iranian state media, aims to reassure the public of Khamenei’s ongoing involvement in Iran’s political affairs.
