The head of public relations for the Office of the Supreme Leader on Saturday posted on social media that these reports are part of “psychological warfare” conducted by Iran’s enemies.
State-affiliated news agencies have also denied the reports, asserting that Ayatollah Khamenei remains steadfast and firmly in command.
Iran’s foreign minister said in an interview that the Supreme Leader, the Iranian President, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and the Speaker of Parliament are all alive "as per his knowledge".
US President Donald Trump has declared that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead.”
