Summary
Iran has released its first video of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei following reports of a critical health condition. The footage, aired on state media, shows Khamenei meeting with a senior official, but the windows remained covered and security personnel prevented the two from seeing or shaking hands, leaving them to communicate only by voice.
Earlier on Friday, Israeli media reported that Khamenei was in an 'extremely critical condition,' adding to speculation over his health and whereabouts. The reports claimed he had been rushed to a hospital and that concerns were circulating among Iran's leadership. However, the lack of live public appearances or direct addresses has fueled continued speculation in Iran and abroad about his health and ability to lead.
