During a critical 12-day war with Israel, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei largely vanished from public view, raising questions about his leadership amid a national crisis. His first video message post-conflict appeared on June 26, yet many still harbor skepticism regarding his authority. Meanwhile, Iran's government has detained over 700 individuals accused of espionage against Israel and is halting cooperation with the IAEA after recent attacks on its nuclear facilities. The situation reflects deeper challenges to the regime's stability and Khamenei's credibility.
Khamenei's retreat during the Israel war raises doubts about his leadership, as many perceive his absence as indicative of weakness amid national crisis.
With Khamenei's disappearance and only vague reassurances during a critical time, many in Iran continue to question the strength and stability of his governance.
