A report in Persian media claims Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing to remove one of Iran's most senior figures, according to a single unverified report. The report does not name the official or specify a reason for the possible dismissal. The claims come amid ongoing power shifts in Tehran.
A single unverified report in Persian media claims that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing to dismiss one of the most senior figures in the Iranian leadership. The brief dispatch, posted Wednesday evening, does not name the official or provide details on the reasons or timing of the potential move. The report has not been corroborated by any additional sources at this hour.
While the report is thin on specifics, it surfaces amid a period of reported turbulence in Iran's power structure. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple unverified reports of purges and personnel changes — including claims that Khamenei replaced senior government officials with IRGC figures, and reports that he is reconsidering the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. However, none of those reports have been independently confirmed, and the current claim stands as a single-source dispatch.
What remains entirely open: who the target is, what prompted the move, and whether the report reflects actual decision-making or internal signaling.
