Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s voice heard in new video: But when was it filmed?

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s voice heard in new video: But when was it filmed?

Iran has released fresh footage of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Ali Khamenei, who speaks publicly for the first time since the war began. The 56-year-old leader is seen overseeing a religious academic session, evaluating a student's thesis, and expressing satisfaction with the work. In the undated video, Khamenei outlines Iran's "Islamic Security Model" and awards the student a perfect score of 19.5 out of 20.

The video, released by Iranian media, has raised questions about the leader's health and whereabouts, as he has largely avoided public appearances since succeeding his father during the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
