According to CoinMeta, and as reported by foreign media, six months after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei assumed the role of supreme leader of Iran, he has yet to appear in front of the Iranian public in any form or make a public statement, leaving a vacuum at the core of the country's leadership. Senior officials and other informed sources attribute Khamenei's absence to concerns about potential assassination attempts. Sources indicate that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have further strengthened their power since the beginning of the war and remain at the heart of strategic decision-making within the restructured ruling system surrounding the Supreme National Security Council. This highest level of authority includes the supreme commander of the Revolutionary Guards, as well as President Ebrahim Raisi and Parliament Speaker Ali Karibaf, among others. The sources claim that Khamenei has actually been holding meetings with these senior officials, fully participating in decision-making discussions, and holds ultimate decision-making power on all major issues. A senior Iranian official stated that only a few officials still have direct contact with Khamenei himself. A person close to Khamenei’s inner circle said that his health is improving significantly, and he remains sharp-minded and involved in decision-making.
