Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not made a public appearance since assuming the position in March, according to a report by ABC News. His prolonged absence from state media and public events has drawn attention both inside and outside Iran, though no government body has issued a statement addressing it.
A paramilitary leader has now promised to release footage showing Khamenei, the report said. The pledge has not yet been fulfilled, and no timeline has been given for when or how the footage might be released. The identity of the paramilitary figure and the platform for any release were not detailed in available reporting.
No official reason has been provided for Khamenei's continued absence from public view. ABC News did not report any health or political explanation, and no Iranian authority has commented publicly on the matter. The promised footage, if released, would be the first public material of the supreme leader since he took on the role.
