Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, denied reports that the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is in the Russian Federation for treatment.
“The habit of lying never leaves a liar’s mind, but an Iranian proverb says that a liar has a short memory and is forgetful. Today, the drumbeat of scandal is heard in Western and Persian-language media. Today, the news of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution being transferred to Russia for treatment is a new psychological war. Iranian leaders don’t need to run and hide in shelters; their place is on the streets among the people. The blood of the martyr Khamenei neutralizes the magic of psychological warfare and the torrent of lies,” the Iranian diplomat wrote.
