Iran: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dead?
Pajamas media is reporting that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei maybe dead. It will be interesting to see if this is true. If it is true it will be interesting to see what will happen next in Iran. Read the whole story here.
UPDATE FROM MICHAEL LEDEEN (Fri. Jan 5):
The source still insists Khamenei is dead, but I cannot find any direct or indirect confirmation. To my knowledge only one person says Khamenei is dead. That said, the regime would have every reason to keep the fact secret, and Khamenei’s physical condition has certainly been grave. In addition to the reports of his emergency hospitalization, his message to the Islamic Community on the Eid festival was released, not publicly read, as he had always done in the past. He has made no public appearances for several days, and Persian web sites have declared—several days ago now—that he cannot carry out his responsibilities and will have to be replaced. The struggle for succession is well under way.
