Report Suggests Ayatollah Khamenei May Flee to Russia
There's a new report saying that Ayatollah Khamenei, the leader of Iran, might be planning to leave the country and go to Russia.
The report says he's been feeling weaker lately, both in his mind and body, especially after a recent war with Israel.
He hasn't been seen much in public recently, and during the war, he stayed in a safe place, which the report says shows he's very worried about his safety.
People in Iran have been protesting a lot lately, and this report is making some people wonder if Khamenei is thinking about leaving because of all the trouble.
Ayatollah Khamenei may be planning to flee to Russia.
He is reported to be weaker, both mentally and physically, since last year's 12-day war with Israel.
Khamenei has made few public appearances recently and was not seen during the latest protests.
During the conflict with Israel, he reportedly remained in a bunker, showing an 'obsession with survival'.
The report comes amid spiraling protests in Iran.
