Khamenei ‘sleeps all day, gets high,’ claims Mossad-linked account

Israeli-linked X account accuses Iran’s supreme leader of drug use and failure to address public suffering amid water and power crises.

A social media account affiliated with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency launched a scathing attack Friday on Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accusing him of drug use and detachment from his people.

“Khamenei spends all day sleeping and getting high,” read the post, originally written in Farsi and shared by the verified @MossadSpokesman account.

Though the post did not name Khamenei directly, it was widely understood to target the 86-year-old leader.

The account added that Khamenei is “unfit to govern a country where people can’t access water or electricity.”

It also cited the country’s worsening infrastructure, blackouts, and water shortages—issues that have fueled nationwide protests.

The tweet, viewed over 180,000 times within two days, marks the latest provocative statement by the @MossadSpokesman account, often referred to as “Mossad Farsi.”

While Israel has never officially confirmed it runs the account, it is widely seen as a Mossad outlet aimed at undermining the Iranian regime.

The platform has previously made headlines.

After Iran’s top war commander, Gholam Ali Rashid, was killed during the first Israeli strike in the current conflict—and his successor Ali Shadmani was swiftly assassinated—the regime refused to name a replacement.

Mossad Farsi quickly took aim.

Posting earlier this month, the account mocked Tehran’s secrecy: “The Iranian regime says it won’t name the new Khatam al-Anbiya commander to protect him. Know that we already know who he is.”

The post called on Iranians to guess the new commander’s name.

More than 2,300 people responded. Some named top officials, including Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba. Others posted jokes or threats.

One user, Behnam Golipour, correctly guessed Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, a former senior IRGC official and sanctioned figure under ex-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Mossad Farsi then posted: “The lucky winner is Mr. Behnam. Please contact us to receive your prize.”

Golipour later responded with unease: “I do not receive money from anyone. I am independent and free. The freedom of the Iranian people is the greatest reward.”

The online feud comes at a tense time for Iran, which is facing mounting domestic anger, economic collapse, and foreign pressure.

Meanwhile, the United States—under President Donald Trump—continues to increase sanctions and support for opposition forces.

Khamenei, who has ruled since 1989, rarely appears in public and is often accused by critics of being out of touch.

The latest post from Mossad Farsi plays directly into that image, painting him as a drugged-out recluse while Iranians suffer.

Iranian officials have not responded publicly to the latest claims.
