The islamic republics broadcasting n said right now that a rumor spread around by the “zionist” writer, Michael Ledeen, about that Khamenei is dead. But that is not throudh and on monday morning, Khamenei will attend to a meeting.

Right. Instead of denying it, why doesn’t he just walk over to the window and wave?

I am quite prepared to believe my source was wrong–it happens–but this sort of thing is not at all convincing. Maybe it will turn out to be like the time someone told Mencken that Coolidge (or some other president, I can’t ever remember) was dead, and he said “how can they tell?”

That Khamenei is terribly sick is well established, and I certainly had that one right. I am less confident in this source, but we will know on Monday if not before.
