🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. intelligence says that Iran's Supreme Leader is operating from a hidden location and communicating almost entirely through couriers
It’s already been 11 weeks since Mojtaba Khamenei was named Supreme Leader, and the guy still hasn’t done a single video, audio, or public appearance. Just short written statements read by anchors on TV.
On top of that, it’s directly messing with the negotiations. U.S. officials are getting frustrated because their proposals sit unanswered for days or even weeks.
Everything has to physically travel through couriers to this wounded, reclusive leader.
At the most critical moment in U.S.-Iran negotiations, Iran's leadership structure may be its own biggest obstacle.
