An Israeli security official addressed the issue of the absence of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, estimating that 'Khamenei is alive but no one knows what his condition is.' According to the official, 'There is a high probability that he is injured, conscious, but not in a condition that allows him to appear in public.' The official added: 'The Revolutionary Guards are the ones running Iran and they are also the ones issuing statements in Mojtaba's name. Something very strange is happening there.'
