The voice is buried and slow, sore throat and speech disappeared for which Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, is known. 86 -year -old Ali Khamenei, after 12 days of silence on Friday, when he came on TV to claim ‘Jeet’, that charisma was missing from his personality. Seeing this, the people of Iran shout and play applause.
Before the war, whenever Khamenei used to communicate with the public, it used to be in the open. There would be a crowd of thousands in front of Khamenei and she would raise slogans, while addressing the fists and filled them with enthusiasm.
But this time he came on TV, there was a normal curtain in the background and was hanging behind in 1979, a picture of Ayatollah Khomeini, who did Islamic Inquilab in Iran.
Fatigue on face, weakened on power
According to the report of the news agency AFP, it indicates that they may still be hidden given the dangers of the attack from Israel. Because Israel has not ruled out the possibility of trying to kill him.
On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katj told the media that if the opportunity was given, the army would not miss killing Khamenei during the war.
Analysts say that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is trying to be active again after the war with Israel.
But under the rule of three and a half decades, they have to struggle to maintain their dominance over the Islamic Republic.
Ali Khamenei’s grip on Iran and Central Asia has weakened in recent years.
Decline in personality
First of all, in the struggle with Israel, the supporters of Tehran terrorist groups Hamas and Hizbullah are constantly falling down. Iran’s colleague Bashar al-Assad has lost power in Syria. Here there is a lack of economic crisis and energy in the country.
Professor Thomas Juno of Ottawa University says, “The rule does not appear on the verge of collapse at this time, but it is definitely more weak than the early years after the revolution.”
Juno told AFP, “Therefore the authority of the supreme leader has definitely weakened.” “Even though his situation is safe, because at the moment his rule is unlikely to be a direct challenge, he has lost his credibility and is directly responsible for the major loss of the Islamic Republic.”
Significantly, in 1981, there was an attempt to kill Khamenei. In this attack, his right arm fell victim to paralysis. Khamenei never tries to hide it.
But despite this, it is a taboos to discuss succession in Iran. No clear procedure is prescribed for this yet.
Visiting Fellow Arsh Aziji at Boston University said that Khamenei looked “weak and weak” in his television message, “which is completely different from his passionate speech style, which we know.
He said, “It is clear that he has become a weak, now he is no longer rights and he is just a shadow of his old personality.”
“Power in Tehran is already going to various institutions and groups and in the coming time, the fight for their succession will intensify.”
Khamenei has already dealt with many crises. 2022-23 When there was a protest against strict dress code in Iran, they strictly suppressed it. In this performance, the name of Mahsa Amini has been in the headlines. Whom Iran’s Moral was murdered by the police.

Kiles put in power?
The New York Times and Iran International, which is a Persian language television channel located outside Iran and who criticizes the Iranian power, has said that Khamenei stayed in the bunker during the war. He had completely abandoned digital communication. Because there was a danger of its track. And they were detected and they could be murdered.
Iran International said that Khamenei was also not involved in the talks that led to a ceasefire. These talks were handled by the National Security Council and President Masood Deveshakian, although there is no confirmation of this claim.
Jason Broadsky, a policy director of the US -based United Against Nuclear Iran, said that Khamenei looked “weak and tired” as well as “cut off from reality”, as he insisted that Iran’s nuclear program had not suffered any significant damage.
Jason Broadsky said, “Still I doubt the principles that Khamenei has been sidelined.”
He said that I have no doubt that the war will promote debate within Iran’s political aristocratic class how to rebuild the system’s capabilities, but in the end the responsibility always falls on Khamenei. “
