Mossad in Farsi says Khamenei spends 'half the day sleeping, the other half high'

The Jerusalem Post: The Mossad-linked account claimed that most of Iran lacks access to water and electricity while Ali Khamenei allegedly spends his days sleeping or using illicit substances.

The Mossad’s Farsi social media account alleged on Friday that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “spends most of his days either sleeping or half high on substances.”

The statement was made by an account claiming to be the official Mossad spokesperson in Farsi for X/Twitter, although the intelligence organization has never officially confirmed this.

The post said: “How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances? Water, electricity, life!”

The Mossad-linked account has made several comments over the last month regarding the state of Iran and Khamenei's health. It has also advised Iranians to contact the account only through a VPN for security reasons.

The Farsi account has made several posts in the last couple of months, with one of the most viral publications centered around the designation of the newly appointed, officially unnamed commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.

The Mossad-linked account started after Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the regime would not reveal the commander’s identity “for his protection.”

The anonymous X account, which has been posting satirical jabs and provocative claims since late June, retorted that it already knew the name and urged Iranians to send in their guesses.

The account responded to the "lucky winner" who guessed the name Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, and urged him to "contact us privately to receive your prize."
