Following the 12-day war, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spends most days snoozing and getting “high,” an outrageous post from the Mossad’s Farsi social media account mysteriously claimed.
“How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?” the post asked.
The statement came from a bizarre new premium X account that launched in recent weeks, claiming to be the official Farsi-language spokesperson — the official dialect of Iran — for the cunning Israeli intelligence agency, with regular posts trolling the Iranian regime.

“Using drugs and speaking to spirits are not appropriate traits for someone leading a nation,” the account said in another recent post.
This isn’t the way the Mossad typically communicates with the public — but according to two intelligence experts interviewed by JFeed, the strange Mossad account does appear to be authentic.
“It’s a new battlefield tool,” said Zvi Yehezkeli, a leading Arab affairs commentator for i24News, who said Iranians have become so disillusioned with the regime and Mossad operates differently there than in other countries.
“Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad,” agreed Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies and a former IDF Persian-language officer.
Claims of Ali Khamenei’s drug use have been floated before.
An Iranian academic said in a 2022 television interview on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated television in Turkey that the Iranian Supreme Leader often uses drugs.
“Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs,” Nour Mohamed Omara said on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated television in Turkey in 2022.
“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.”
