Iran fears audio recordings could reveal Mojtaba Khamenei’s location, Iranian media claims - report
The report outlined several ways the recordings could reveal Khamenei's location and health condition, ranging from acoustic signatures to the supreme leader's breathing patterns.
Iranian media outlet Al-Mashhari has raised concerns that intelligence agencies may be able to use audio recordings to track the location of Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The newspaper claims that there are five potential ways in which a recording could reveal Khamenei's whereabouts. Firstly, each enclosed space has a unique acoustic signature, which can provide precise information about the room where the speaker is located.
Secondly, interference from the electrical grid can be used to determine the date and exact time a recording was made, as well as the specific section of the power grid connected to the recording site. Thirdly, every microphone and recording device leaves a unique imprint on an audio file, with mobile phone microphones weakening low frequencies and inexpensive components producing distinctive harmonic distortion.
Fourthly, noise from ventilation systems, generators, cooling equipment, or other technical equipment at the site could help intelligence agencies identify the location. Finally, the resonance of the speaker's voice could reveal his breathing patterns, pauses between words, physical condition, heart rate, and stress level. The article suggests that these factors may explain why no audio recordings of Khamenei have been released.
