Iran Refutes Supreme Leader 'Coma' Reports Amid Social Media Buzz

"Iran has hit back against social media claims that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is close to death or in a coma, by publishing a picture of him meeting a Lebanese official. The photo on X, formerly Twitter, purports to show a meeting between the Iranian leader and Mojtaba Amani, Iran's ambassador to Lebanon at noon Sunday, November 17, in Tehran... Jason Brodsky, a policy director at the United Against Nuclear Iran, also denounced the coma claims in a post on X and wrote: "Tweets about how #Iran's regime's supreme leader is in a coma or has even died are all over my timeline. There is not one credible news outlet which has reported as such. "So please be careful what you post.""
