Tehran: Iran has completely rejected America's claims regarding the health of its Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Iranian officials say that such news is being spread deliberately to create instability within the country. The government has called these a “conspiracy of enemies” and appealed to the people not to pay attention to the rumors.

What did Iran say?

A senior Iranian official clarified that Mojtaba Khamenei is completely safe and the ongoing talks about his health are baseless. He said that “God has kept them safe”, in an attempt to convey the message that there is no need to worry about leadership.

What are America's claims?

American media and some Western reports claimed that Khamenei had been seriously injured after the recent incidents and his condition might be critical. Some reports also said that he had to undergo several procedures for treatment and his public presence has reduced.

Were questions raised about health earlier also?

This is not the first time that questions have been raised about Khamenei's health. For some time now, various reports have been reporting about his injury and its impact on his active role, due to which there has been a period of speculation.

Why did Iran call it an 'enemy's move'?

Iran says that such news is not just a rumor but part of a strategy. According to officials, external forces spread such information to create psychological pressure and show the country's leadership as weak.

Do regional tensions continue?

This entire matter has come to light at a time when tension between America and Iran has already increased. There is a continuous situation of conflict between the two countries regarding the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear program and military activities.

Will the dispute escalate further?

Experts believe that this issue is not limited to health only, but both politics and strategy are involved in it. The rhetoric on this may intensify in the coming days, due to which the regional situation may become more sensitive.

Is it affecting common people also?

Such news not only remains among the governments but also has an impact among the common people. The rapid spread of information on social media creates a situation of confusion, making it difficult for people to access correct information. In such an environment, every news is monitored, but it is not easy to build trust.
