LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is apparently spending all his time snoozing and getting high, according to a mysterious X account linked to Israel’s famed spy agency, Mossad.

“How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?” the account, dubbed Mossad’s Farsi-language outlet, posted on July 25. “Water, electricity, life!”



 

The account claims Khamenei, the aging supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, is too busy hitting the hay and allegedly hitting the pipe while ordinary Iranians suffer under blackouts and bone-dry taps.

“Using drugs and speaking to spirits are not appropriate traits for someone leading a nation," the account sneered in another post.

The account’s posts have been relentless in recent weeks, mocking Tehran’s top brass, making claims about the regime’s crumbling infrastructure and education system, all while painting Khamenei as a drugged-up zombie at the helm.

Mossad-linked account trolls Iranian regime

The account is also dabbling in trolling contests. It held one after Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency (tied to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) announced the appointment of a new top dog at the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the military’s central command, but refused to reveal his identity for “protection," Fox News reported.

“We already know the name,” the Mossad Farsi account declared, then called on its Iranian followers to guess who it was. One user hit the jackpot by naming Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, and the account told them to “contact us privately to receive your prize.”

Meanwhile, the account’s bio offers a free security reminder. “To everyone contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN," it says.

“It’s a new battlefield tool,” said Zvi Yehezkeli, a well-known Arab affairs commentator for i24News, who believes the account is real and part of Israel’s shadow war. He told Israeli news outlet JFeed that the Iranian public is so fed up with their own regime that Mossad can operate differently there, even using trolling tactics.

Beny Sabti, a Persian-language expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies and a former IDF officer, agreed with that theory. “Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,” he told JFeed.

Officially, Mossad hasn’t confirmed or denied it’s behind the account, or the eyebrow-raising claims about Ali Khamenei’s alleged drug use.

Old claims resurface linking Ali Khamenei to secret drug production site

This isn’t the first time someone has accused Ali Khamenei of indulging in a little extra “relaxation” in his regime.

Back in 2022, an Iranian academic named Nour Mohamed Omara went on a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV channel in Turkey and dropped a bombshell of his own. “Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs," he declared.

Not only that, Omara claimed the Ayatollah has his own private drug-farming village in Balochistan.

"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."

That’s quite a contrast to Khamenei’s own public stance. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Ayatollah declared drug use “un-Islamic.” In fact, Iran’s anti-drug laws are so strict that they carry the death penalty.

Yet, if the allegations are to be believed, the nation's top leader is knee-deep in narcotics.
