Water, electricity, life," posted the Persian account called @MossadSpokesman account on X on Friday.

Is Iran's supreme leader spending his days sleeping and ‘getting high'?
An account on X purportedly linked to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has alleged that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spends half of the day sleeping and the other half 'getting high'. Is there any truth to the claims made by the Mossad Farsi account? read more An account on the social media platform X, which is purportedly linked to Israel's national intelligence agency, has made sensational claims about Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Mossad's Farsi account has alleged that the 86-year-old conservative cleric is addicted to drugs. However, there are doubts about the authenticity of the account itself. Mossad has also not officially confirmed that its affiliation. Let's take a closer look. What has Mossad Farsi claimed? The Mossad's Farsi social media account alleged on Friday (July 25) that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spends his time sleeping and high on drugs. 'How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?' the account wrote on Friday on X. 'Water, electricity, life!' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD چگونه یک رهبر میتواند رهبری کند وقتی نصف روز می خوابد و نصف دیگر روز از مصرف مواد نعشه است؟ آب، برق، زندگی! — Mossad Farsi (@MossadSpokesman) July 25, 2025 The account made a similar claim on July 9, saying: 'Consuming drugs and conversing with spirits are not desirable traits for someone leading a country.' The account, with a blue tick, is new and was created just last month. It claims to be the official Mossad spokesperson in Farsi, the official language of Iran. However, the Israeli intelligence agency has not officially confirmed the account is linked to it, as per a Fox News report. Two intelligence agents have claimed the account appears to be authentic. 'Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,' Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, told JFeed, an Israeli news outlet. Is there any truth to the claims? There is no confirmation of the claims, which just seem to be speculations. However, claims about the Iranian supreme leader's alleged drug use have been made in the past. In 2022, an Iranian academic accused Khamenei of using drugs. 'Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs,' Nour Mohamed Omara told a television station in Turkey at the time. 'He has a special village in Balochistan, where the drugs used by the leader are produced. This village is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and no one is allowed in,' the academic added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There have been unfounded claims about Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei using drugs. File Photo/Reuters The claims come even as Iran declared illicit substances 'un-Islamic' in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution. Iranians face the death penalty for drug-related offences. Other posts by Mossad Farsi The Mossad-linked account has made many claims about Iran and Khamenei's health over the last month. The account asks Iranians to contact it through 'private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN.' After the 12-day Iran-Israel war, the account wrote on X: 'A ceasefire has been put into effect. Now, the extent of the damage is becoming clear. At this moment, the regime is focused on its senior officials, not on caring for its citizens. 'We stand with you and have formed a team of specialised doctors, including experts in cardiology, diabetes. pulmonary diseases, infectious diseases, oncology, as well as support for pregnant women and psychological assistance.' On June 24, United States President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel after 12 days of conflict. The Mossad Farsi account's one of the most viral posts was related to the newly appointed commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is the command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD After Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the regime would not disclose the commander's identity 'for his protection,' the X account claimed to already know the name. It also called on Iranians to send in their guesses. The account replied to the 'lucky winner' who guessed the name Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, asking the user to 'contact us privately to receive your prize.' With inputs from agencies

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei ‘spends the day sleeping and using drugs': Report
A social media account linked to Israel's intelligence agency Mossad has made allegations against Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claiming he spends much of his day 'sleeping and using drugs.' Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been accused of spending his days sleeping and using drugs by a Mossad-affiliated account.(REUTERS File) 'How can a leader lead when he sleeps half the day and the other half is a wreck from drug use? Water, electricity, life!' the account Mossad Farsi wrote on X (formerly Twitter). The post, originally written in Farsi and automatically translated, stopped short of naming Ayatollah Khamenei but was broadly seen as a reference to the 86-year-old Iranian supreme leader, reported Israeli news outlet ynetnews. The account behind it, @MossadSpokesman, is verified and regularly addresses Farsi-speaking users with content critical of Iran's leadership, often delivering political messages aimed at the regime in Tehran, the Israeli-based news outlet mentioned. The post on X has drawn over 1.9 lakh views, with its closing remarks seemingly referencing Iran's ongoing infrastructure and resource challenges, including widespread protests over water scarcity and power cuts. While Israel has not formally confirmed ownership, the Mossad Farsi has emerged as a provocative digital presence, widely seen as an unofficial outlet for the intelligence agency's messaging aimed at Iranian audiences. Mossad Farsi bio warns users to use VPN amid attacks on Iranian regime The account bio reads, 'To everyone contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN.' Over the past month, 'Mossad Farsi' has posted a series of barbed messages targeting Iran's leadership, including comments on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's health. In one post, the account ridiculed the secrecy surrounding the newly appointed, unnamed commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya, a key military command within Iran's armed forces. After the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that the commander's identity was being withheld for security reasons, the account claimed it already had the name and encouraged users to guess. When someone responded with 'Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi,' the account wrote back: 'Contact us privately to receive your prize.' The account's use of public taunts is an unusual departure from Mossad's typically covert and restrained communication style. Two intelligence experts told Israeli news outlet JFeed that the channel appears to be genuine. 'Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,' said Beny Sabti, a former IDF Persian-language officer and current Iran specialist at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies. Accusations about Khamenei's drug use have surfaced in the past as well. Fox News quoted a 2022 remark by Iranian academic Nour Mohamed Omara, who claimed on a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV channel in Turkey, 'Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs.'

The claim was made on X by a Farsi-language account created last month. The account, which has a premium subscription, has not been officially confirmed by Mossad but presents itself as the agency's spokesperson in Persian. In its first post on Friday, the account wrote, 'How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances? Water, electricity, life!" چگونه یک رهبر میتواند رهبری کند وقتی نصف روز می خوابد و نصف دیگر روز از مصرف مواد نعشه است؟آب، برق، زندگی!— Mossad Farsi (@MossadSpokesman) July 25, 2025 A second post added, 'Every explosion, fire, and destruction is not our doing.

The account's bio also advises Iranian users to protect their identity when interacting. 'To everyone contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN," it reads. Allegations about Khamenei's drug use are not new. In 2022, an Iranian academic, Nour Mohamed Omara, made similar claims during an appearance on a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated television channel based in Turkey, Fox News reported. 'Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs," Omara said. He also claimed the Iranian leader has a private village in Balochistan where the drugs are produced under the supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to Omara, the area is tightly controlled and closed off to the public. Khamenei has long denounced drug use, calling it 'un-Islamic" after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. In Iran, drug-related crimes can carry severe penalties, including the death sentence. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Iran's Supreme Leader spends his days sleeping and getting high, Mossad-linked account says
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spends all day sleeping and using drugs while most of the country lacks access to clean water and electricity, according to a social media account linked to Israel's national intelligence agency. "How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?" the Mossad's Farsi account wrote Friday on X. "Water, electricity, life!" "Consuming drugs and conversing with spirits are not desirable traits for someone leading a country," the account wrote on July 9. The post came from a new X account with a premium subscription created last month, claiming to be the official Mossad spokesperson in Farsi — the official language of Iran — though the Israeli intelligence agency has not officially confirmed the account's affiliation.
