Iran's Supreme Leader 'sleeping and getting high' as Ayatollah threatens Israel's existence from hidden bunker

Iran's Supreme Leader 'sleeping and getting high' as Ayatollah threatens Israel's existence from hidden bunker

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Iran 's Supreme Leader spends his days 'sleeping and high on substances' in his hidden bunker, according to insiders within Israel 's national intelligence agency.
A Mossad-linked X account last week shared the new information on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a series of attacks on his leadership.
'How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances? Water, electricity, life!' the account wrote.
'Consuming drugs and conversing with spirits are not desirable traits for someone leading a country,' a second post read earlier this month.
It comes after Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Khamenei to stop threatening the existence of his people from his underground bunker.
'I want to convey a clear message to Khamenei the dictator,' Katz recently said.
'If you continue to threaten Israel, our long arm will again reach Tehran and with even greater force — and this time to you personally. Do not threaten, lest you be harmed.'
A ceasefire has been in place between Israel and Iran since late June, following days of fiery attacks from both sides after Israel's surprise strikes wiped out top Iranian military figures and nuclear scientists.
At the height of the 12-day conflict, there were widespread reports that Khamenei was hiding out in a bunker amid increased concerns for his safety.
At this point, Israel had dismantled and destroyed Khamenei's senior network, wiping out key leaders and allies of the Supreme Leader.
Mohammad Bagheri, the commander in chief of Iran's military and second highest commander after Khamenei, was among the first casualties identified after the strikes.
Hossein Salami, commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was also killed, along with Gholamali Rashid, the deputy commander in chief of the armed forces.
General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the airspace unit of the Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Gholamreza Mehrabi, the deputy intelligence chief of the Armed Forces and Gen. Davood Sheikhian, the commander of air defense, were also wiped out.
Simultaneously, bombs exploded at the homes of nine scientists, killing them instantly and at the same time.
While the Mossad has not formally confirmed the X account's affiliation, two intelligence agents recently said the account appears authentic.
'Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,' said Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies.
The accountholder urges supports who are 'contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN.'
Khamenei has been accused of abusing drugs in the past, despite declaring illicit substances 'un-Islamic' in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution.
Iranians face the death penalty for drug related offenses.
In 2022, an Iranian academic publicly claimed the Supreme Leader had a drug habit.
'Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs,' Nour Mohamed Omara told a television station in Turkey at the time.
'He has a special village in Balochistan, where the drugs used by the leader are produced,' the academic added.
'This village is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and no one is allowed in.'
The same Mossad-linked account has been making efforts to reach and communicate with Iranians who are increasingly disenfranchised with their leadership.
After the 12-day Iran-Israel war, the account posted: 'A ceasefire has been put into effect. Now, the extent of the damage is becoming clear. At this moment, the regime is focused on its senior officials, not on caring for its citizens.
'We stand with you and have formed a team of specialized doctors, including experts in cardiology, diabetes. pulmonary diseases, infectious diseases, oncology, as well as support for pregnant women and psychological assistance.'
The account warned Iranians interested in utilizing the services to contact them via a VPN for their own safety.

Trump flags tariff hike that may impact Australia

Australian exporters may be hit with tariffs of up to 20 percent at the US border, after President Donald Trump flagged a hike in the baseline duty for all imports. Trump suggested the minimum tariff for countries that do not negotiate separate trade deals may double. Speaking at a press conference at his luxury golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland on Monday (Tuesday, AEST), the US president said the blanket tariff would affect 'the rest of the world', having secured exemption deals with major economies including Japan and the European Union. Asked what the new rate would be, he said: 'I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15 to 20 percent range. 'Probably one of those two numbers'. The baseline tariff is currently set at 10 percent and is applied to most goods sent to the US by about 200 countries including Australia. Despite mounting pressures on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, his government has been unable to secure an exemption ahead of an August 1 deadline. Shadow Finance Minister James Paterson said the latest announcement exposed the damage caused by Albanese's failure to establish a relationship with Trump, having still not met him face-to-face. The Prime Minister sought to discuss the tariffs with Trump during the G7 summit in Canada last month but the US President left ahead of schedule due to the Israel-Iran conflict. Mr Paterson added it seemed Ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd also had no meetings at the White House since Trump was sworn in in January, having previously mocked and criticized the US president. 'I suspect we would know about it if he had, I suspect it would be all over social media if he had, so I think it's a reasonable inference now that there has been no meetings.' For its part, the Albanese government has restated its opposition to the tariffs but downplayed what it said about Australia-US relations. 'We are a country that relies on trade, we are a country with a very high proportion of jobs that rely on trade,' Assistant Treasurer Dan Mulino told Sky News. 'That remains the position of this government. So, we would rather a situation in which the world doesn't go down the path of imposing tariffs. 'But what I can say is that Australia remains in a situation where we've got as good a deal as anybody, and we continue to engage with the US Government intensely on these matters.' A spokesperson for Trade Minister Don Farrell said Australia would continue to engage 'at all levels' to advocate for the removal of the tariffs. 'We, as the opposition, disagree with Trump's tariff policy, but again, it reinforces the urgency and the great disappointment that our prime minister hasn't had a face-to-face meeting with Trump,' he said. 'He needs to go over there and prosecute the case, to argue Australia's case, but also to stand up for free trade across the globe, because the importance of it for us as a trading nation, as Australia.' It comes only days after Australia lifted its ban on importing US beef - eliminating a key reason cited by the Trump administration for its tariff on Aussie goods. Mr Albanese insisted the move was the outcome of a biosecurity review that had been underway for years rather than a backdown in the face of tariffs, but US officials have celebrated it as a win for the president. 'This is yet another example of the kind of market access the president negotiates to bring America into a new golden age of prosperity, with American agriculture leading the way,' US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said.

Israel says it intercepted missile fired from Yemen; Houthis claim responsibility

July 29 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen toward Israel that triggered sirens in several areas in the country. The Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack, saying they fired a ballistic missile at Jaffa. Houthis have been firing at Israel and attacking shipping lanes, in what the group says is solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war. Most of the dozens of missiles and drones they have launched have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes.
