The situation surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei remains shrouded in mystery. Recent reports, including those from the Wall Street Journal, suggest the use of artificial intelligence in generating images of him. News Express Gazette reported on March 22, 2026, at 17:34, that the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, made a solemn pledge to “avenge the blood of martyrs” and maintain the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during his initial address to the Iranian people on March 12th.
This message was ultimately delivered by a presenter on state television, rather than by Mojtaba Khamenei himself, which further amplified concerns about his condition. Since that initial broadcast, considerable doubt has grown regarding his whereabouts and genuine health. The 56-year-old leader has not been seen publicly, and no fresh video or audio recordings of his voice have surfaced.
Frequently circulating images appear to be staged or even fabricated through the application of artificial intelligence. The lack of verifiable information continues to fuel speculation about his well-being and his continued role as Supreme Leader.
