Where Is Khamenei?

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei remains hidden despite the ceasefire, raising public and official concern, including speculation about his death.

Hamza Safavi, son of IRGC commander Yahya Safavi, says there are fears Israel may still attempt to assassinate Khamenei, prompting strict security measures.

Officials say Khamenei’s absence has led to power struggles within the state, with various factions trying to shape Iran’s nuclear and U.S. policies.

Currently, moderates favoring diplomacy—backed by President Pezeshkian—hold the upper hand.

However, hardliners, supported by some top IRGC commanders and a parliamentary majority, oppose the ceasefire and talks with the U.S.
