The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has made its security stance clear by announcing that its Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will continue to remain in hiding and not be seen in public.
This step has been taken as a special strategy to protect the security of the supreme leader following the ongoing fierce military clashes between the Iranian and US forces, which have caused great uncertainty throughout the Middle East region.
Iranian authorities have clarified that the decision to keep the leader out of the public eye will remain in place until the current fighting officially ends.
The current plan is for Mojtaba to return and reappear in public once the security situation in the country and surrounding areas has stabilized and is stable. For now, security officials in the country insist that the current environment is not at all safe for a leader of his stature to appear openly in public.
