Iranian Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, categorically denied reports that the country's new Supreme Leader, Mujtaba Homanai, is undergoing treatment in Russia.
The diplomat emphasized that such information is not true and is being spread as part of a "psychological war." According to him, the Iranian leadership will never hide and will always be with the people and operate openly.
Earlier, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported that Mujtaba Homanai was injured and taken to Moscow for treatment. However, the Kremlin refused to comment on this information.
At the same time, the fact that Mujtaba Homanai has not appeared in public since his appointment on March 8 raises some questions. His first address on March 12th was broadcast not live, but on state television.
At the same time, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi previously issued an official statement stating that Mujtaba Homanai is in good health and the situation in the country is under full control.
In short, against the backdrop of contradictory information spreading from various sources, official Tehran assesses the situation as stable. At the same time, it is not denied that behind such messages there is also a struggle and attempts to influence in the information space.
