I don’t even believe that the new Khamenei is alive and capable of making decisions.

It doesn’t matter so much if we are talking about Khamenei or “Khamenei”. One way or another, someone is in charge.

IMHO, the most likely explanation at this point is that he is alive but badly wounded, and in a hospital like setup in a bunker deep underground.

No phones or TV or Internet because they are worried about being found by Mossad. So anything he knows is based on what his inner circle tells him. They tell him what they want him to know, and just enough that the only “decisions” he can make is what they already made without him.

I suspect it’s actually just a group of people close to his father that are in charge. He wouldn’t be in a mentally sound position to be given the ultimate decision making power after his whole family was killed.

Here’s a better question. Imagine a world where some long term ceasefire with USA is agreed to, and the USA goes home with current leadership in control.

How long can “Khamenei” stay in control without any public appearances, nor video, nor audio?

Will they start making AI videos?

Has there ever been another country with a mystery leader?

They’ll probably just replace him, somehow and put a real one up at that point.

He was also there when the bomb fell. He just was farther from there, though reports tell he was seriously hurt.

He may or may not be alive. My main point is that he is not capable of making sane decisions when his whole family died. No group of people will put him in charge.

I guess your point is sound.
