(Web Desk) – Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam has categorically rejected allegations against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasizing his steadfast support for Iran’s people and security forces amid recent media claims about a “Plan B” exit strategy.
In a statement on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Ambassador Moghadam said, “Once again, the propaganda machinery of the despicable enemy has been activated, spreading fake and fabricated news and making absurd claims regarding the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
He added that these disinformation campaigns are a desperate attempt to cover up failures during the recent twelve-day war, which the enemy could not conceal.
“Iranian soldiers and commanders stood courageously on the sacred soil of their beloved homeland,” Moghadam said, praising their bravery and sacrifices.
Supreme leader stands with people
Moghadam highlighted that Ayatollah Khamenei, described as wise, courageous, and steadfast, also serves as the Supreme Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces.
“The Supreme Leader stands shoulder to shoulder with the resilient people and vigilant security forces of the nation,” the ambassador said. He noted that Iran’s armed forces defended the homeland with honor and dignity during the recent conflict.
Media urged to exercise caution
The ambassador appealed to Pakistani media to rely on authentic and verified sources, emphasizing the growing risks of digital terrorism, misinformation, and ethical misconduct.
“Professional responsibility is essential to preserving the credibility and distinguished standing of Pakistani journalism,” he said.
Background: “Plan B” reports
Earlier media reports, including a piece by The Times, claimed that Khamenei has a backup plan to leave Iran for Moscow with up to 20 close aides and family members if unrest intensifies and security forces fail to control protests.
According to intelligence sources cited by the report, the plan involves arranging assets, properties abroad, and cash to facilitate a safe passage for Khamenei and his inner circle, including his son and nominated heir apparent, Mojtaba.
