Mossad-Linked Account Lobs Explosive Claims at Tehran’s Supreme Leader
A Farsi-language X (formerly Twitter) account linked to Israel’s Mossad is hurling accusations that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the so-called spiritual heart of Iran’s theocracy, spends his days asleep or using drugs while the country he supposedly leads spirals into chaos. These allegations, as wild as they sound, are being amplified by opposition media and have lit a new fire under an already smoldering regime. The timing is no accident: Israel and Iran are locked in open conflict, Iranian commanders are getting picked off, and the regime is reeling from chronic shortages of water, electricity, and basic services.

The Mossad-linked account isn’t holding back. It’s posting details about Khamenei’s alleged mental breakdown and drug use, painting a picture of a regime held together by secrecy and fear. Some experts believe the account is authentic, citing inside information that “could only have come from Mossad.” Others see a textbook case of psychological warfare: spread wild rumors, erode trust, and let the panic do the rest. The regime’s media machine is silent on the claims, but public frustration inside Iran is boiling over. That’s not surprising, given that the regime’s answer to every crisis is more repression, more censorship, and less accountability.

Chaos at the Top: Sidelined Leadership and Power Struggles
Reports from opposition outlets and Western media describe a Supreme Leader who has suffered a mental breakdown and is being excluded from core national security decisions. Khamenei, now 87, is rumored to be in declining health, especially after losing several trusted military advisers to Israeli airstrikes. The IRGC, once merely the regime’s enforcers, are now the real power brokers, with Khamenei’s own son, Mojtaba, emerging as a possible successor. The internal power dynamics are shifting fast. The Supreme National Security Council and senior IRGC commanders are making the calls, while Khamenei is left to make ceremonial appearances and deliver speeches that are more about projecting strength than actual governance.
Propaganda or Reality? Experts Weigh In on Allegations
The Mossad-linked account claims may sound sensational, but they’re not coming out of thin air. Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies, says the nature of the account’s disclosures points to real intelligence, possibly leaked on purpose to destabilize the Iranian leadership. Intelligence analysts note that Mossad usually keeps its cards close to the vest, so the public campaign is a major departure from the norm. Others caution that the drug use allegations, while plausible in the context of regime secrecy, remain unverified and could be part of a psychological operation designed to undermine what little credibility the regime has left.
Iranian opposition media are running with the story, eager to expose any weakness at the top. Yet even among the regime’s critics, there’s skepticism: the only public evidence is Khamenei’s increasingly rare and stiff public appearances, including a speech marking 40 days since the assassination of top IRGC commanders. Official channels insist the Supreme Leader is still steering the ship, but multiple credible opposition and Western outlets suggest otherwise. The contradiction is glaring—if Khamenei is as active as state TV says, why are IRGC commanders and security officials now making all the big decisions?
