Search for Khamenei and Senegal in google. Choose the advanced search and limit the search to April 1, 2009 to April 30, 2009 (requires a few clicks). Then, you get your answer.

Dear sir!

I evaluated Khamenei’s photo wihthin last 10 days. you can see the reasults here : http://gorizsabz.blogspot.com/2009/10/10.html

You can easily see that his mustache and bear grown too much in just 10 days! just look at the left photo and right photos! the average of hair growth for human is 0.3mm on 1 day, but his hair grown more than 3Cm in these pictures, I am sure the pictures of his meeting with Senegal’s president is fake and old! If any one need more information and translation of this post : http://gorizsabz.blogspot.com/2009/10/10.html
just contact me.

we shall seen. If not in coma, he would later appear in the government TV and talk about the attack in Baluchestan.

Isn’t it likely that the next Supreme Guide, whoever he is and whenever he is installed, will be chosen by the Guard, not by the clerics? The Guard currently controls more than 60% of Iran’s GDP and all of its nuclear portfolio. The next Supreme Guide is not likely to be anyone who will rule the Guard; once Khameini is gone, the Guard will rule with a carefully chosen puppet as the nation’s Guide.

Michael,
The regime is lacking confidence, no? The paranoia exhibited by their reaction to the suicide bombing of the revolutionary guards as well as their handling of the condition of their “Supreme Guide” makes me wonder….and hope.

I changed my mind; I don’t think they were photoshopped, they are old file pictures. I stand by my story that Khamenei is in a coma, and I reject the story that he met with the Senegalese President on Saturday.

Fars News is the biggest supporter of Ahmadinejad and extremist religious political group in iran, yet they have neither newspaper or televsion but they are a big organization, and they have strong relationships with the ruling dictatorship regime in Iran.

I believe they used their old picture for that news, and it is hard to accept they made such a big lie, as you can see famous political characters in the photos, such as Mr. Mottaki and Mr. Velayati.
And last point is taht all the official photos published in ISNA and Fars is from Iranian Leadership website.
