Why hasn't Supreme Leader Khamenehi shown his face?
It's strange that although Khamenehi has been elected as Iran's supreme leader, he has never appeared in public. More interestingly, the Iranian state television once said that Khamenehi would give a national speech, but afterwards there was no further news. Under the fierce attacks from the United States and Israel, Iranian society is highly unstable. According to conventional logic, Khamenehi appearing publicly and giving a national speech would help stabilize people's hearts. On the contrary, if Khamenehi keeps not showing up, it will directly aggravate the anxiety of the Iranian society. So why doesn't Khamenehi show up? It's simple, he was injured.
The New York Times cited sources saying: Khamenehi was directly affected on February 28 when the US and Israel started the war, but compared to his family, Khamenehi was much luckier, he didn't die, but only suffered a leg injury.
The UK's The Times also revealed the same information: during an Israeli air strike on Khamenehi's residence, Khamenehi may have been inside, but he did not die, only suffering a leg injury, which is the key reason for his long delay in appearing in public. Earlier, Iranian state media had also released reports about "Khamenehi being injured by enemies."
Although the son of the Iranian president mentioned that Khamenehi was very "safe," there is one question that is very confusing: if so, why doesn't he appear in public?
From another perspective, Khamenehi's failure to appear might also be due to safety considerations. The United States and Israel are watching closely, and both have made statements that they may eliminate Khamenehi. CNN reported citing sources that survival has now become Khamenehi's top priority.
