Iranian Supreme Leader sleeps and gets ‘high on substances' all day, Mossad-linked social media account claims
'How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?' the post asked.
The statement came from a bizarre new premium X account that launched in recent weeks, claiming to be the official Farsi-language spokesperson — the official dialect of Iran — for the cunning Israeli intelligence agency, with regular posts trolling the Iranian regime.

'Using drugs and speaking to spirits are not appropriate traits for someone leading a nation,' the account said in another recent post.
This isn't the way the Mossad typically communicates with the public — but according to two intelligence experts interviewed by JFeed, the strange Mossad account does appear to be authentic.
'It's a new battlefield tool,' said Zvi Yehezkeli, a leading Arab affairs commentator for i24News, who said Iranians have become so disillusioned with the regime and Mossad operates differently there than in other countries.
'Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,' agreed Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies and a former IDF Persian-language officer.

Claims of Ali Khamenei's drug use have been floated before.
An Iranian academic said in a 2022 television interview on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated television in Turkey that the Iranian Supreme Leader often uses drugs.
'Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs,' Nour Mohamed Omara said on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated television in Turkey in 2022.

'He has a special village in Balochistan, where the drugs used by the leader are produced. This village is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and no one is allowed in.'
Ironically, the Ayatollah has publicly declared drug use, especially opium, 'un-Islamic' after the 1979 Iranian Revolution — and penalties for drug-related offenses in the Islamic Republic include death.
The Mossad has not officially confirmed or denied the claims about Ali Khamenei's drug use – or whether it is behind the social media account.

Haley questions Trump's trade moves with China, India
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday questioned President Trump's trade moves with China and India, warning that the U.S. shouldn't 'burn' its relationship with India. 'India should not be buying oil from Russia. But China, an adversary and the number one buyer of Russian and Iranian oil, got a 90-day tariff pause,' Haley said in a post on the social platform X. 'Don't give China a pass and burn a relationship with a strong ally like India,' she added. On Monday, Trump said he would raise tariffs on India over buying and selling oil from Moscow, asserting the country did not care about the Ukrainian casualties due to the war with Russia. Trump did not say the amount the tariff will rise on India, after he said he would impose a 25 percent tariff on the trading partner in July. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,' Trump said on Truth Social. 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' he added. 'Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.' In May, the United States and China said they agreed to a 90-day pause on a majority of retaliatory tariffs imposed on each other since the beginning of April, when Trump unveiled his expansive global tariff plan and ratcheted up his trade war with China. American and Chinese officials last week agreed to continued discussions on extending tariff rates via the 90-day truce.

Jenrick demands Law Society withdraw ‘race and ethnicity' guidance
Robert Jenrick has demanded the Law Society withdraw new guidance that he claimed 'seeks to divide people on the basis of race and ethnicity'. The shadow justice secretary has written to the body, which represents solicitors across England and Wales, complaining about new advice aimed at promoting the use of inclusive language by legal professionals. The guidance says that racial categorisation is based in white supremacy, and 'was developed as an attempt to prove biological superiority and maintain dominance over others'. Mr Jenrick said these were 'dangerous ideas' and that the society should be 'colour-blind and merit-based'. He claimed the guidance runs contrary to 'the principle of equal treatment' and 'seeks to divide people on the basis of race and ethnicity'. 'It is unacceptable for the Law Society to promote this kind of ideology, particularly as other legal bodies back away from these ideas,' Mr Jenrick said in a letter to Law Society president Richard Atkinson. 'I urge you to withdraw this guidance immediately.' The Law Society has been contacted for comment. It comes after a row over new guidance directing judges to consider the lives of offenders from ethnic minority and other backgrounds before sentencing. Opponents claimed the changes could lead to a 'two-tier justice system' in which people from minority groups are treated more leniently. The guidance, which the Sentencing Council argued would ensure courts had comprehensive information to decide on an appropriate punishment, was later abandoned after ministers tabled legislation to override it. The Law Society's guide is separate, and its stated intention is to help solicitors 'be more inclusive with the language we use'.

Trump plans to "take over" Gaza aid effort, U.S. officials say
Special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump discussed plans for the U.S. to significantly increase its role in providing humanitarian aid to Gaza in a meeting Monday evening at the White House, according to two U.S. officials and an Israeli official with knowledge of the issue. Why it matters: Negotiations for a ceasefire are stuck, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is moving towards significantly expanding the war. U.S. officials are concerned about more bloodshed but have yet to firmly object. The new food aid plan Trump promised last week is also not yet finalized. Driving the news: Witkoff flew in from Miami to meet Trump for dinner on Monday, the sources say, fresh off a visit last week to Israel and Gaza. A U.S. official said it was decided that the Trump administration will "take over" management of the humanitarian effort in Gaza because Israel isn't handling it adequately. The official didn't say what the U.S. role would actually entail, but said Gulf countries like Qatar will contribute funds, while Jordan and Egypt will also likely be involved. The White House didn't respond to requests for comment. Friction point: Trump is "not thrilled" about the idea of the U.S. taking charge, "but it kind of has to happen," the official said. "There doesn't seem to be another way." "The starvation problem in Gaza is getting worse. Donald Trump does not like that. He does not want babies to starve. He wants mothers to be able to nurse their children. He's becoming fixated on that," the official continued. A second U.S. official said the administration will be careful not to get dragged too deep into the Gaza crisis. "The president doesn't want to see the U.S. being the only country throwing money at this problem. It's a global problem. And he's been tasking Witkoff and others to make sure everyone is stepping up, our European friends and our Arab friends," the official said. The other side: Israel supports the increased U.S. role, according to both U.S. officials and an Israeli official. The Israeli official confirmed the U.S. planned to take the lead on the humanitarian issue in order to increase the level of aid coming into Gaza. "They are going to spend a lot of money in order to help us significantly improving the humanitarian situation so that it will be less of an issue," the Israeli official said. Behind the scenes: Some in the administration are growing worried over Netanyahu's proposed expansion of the war. Netanyahu raised that possibility during Witkoff's visit last week and has discussed it with the White House this week too, an Israeli official told Axios. Israeli officials have claimed they're totally aligned with Washington. Zoom in: The proposed expansion is controversial not just because it entails occupying the entire Gaza Strip, including areas like Gaza City, but also because it would mean moving into zones where Israel believes hostages are being held. The Israel Defense Forces have been reluctant to attack those areas for fear of accidentally killing hostages. IDF Chief of Staff Gen. Eyal Zamir and other senior security officials have warned Netanyahu against such an operation. According to Israeli officials, Zamir told Netanyahu such a move would endanger the hostages and could lead to Israeli military rule in Gaza with full responsibility over two million Palestinians. What to watch: Nevertheless, the Israeli security cabinet is expected to hold a meeting on Thursday and approve the plan for the full occupation of Gaza. An Israeli official claimed Netanyahu is working to "free the hostages through military defeat of Hamas" because he believes "Hamas is not interested in a deal." At the same time, humanitarian aid will be brought into areas outside the combat zones "and as much as possible to areas outside Hamas' control," the official said.
