IRAN’S ‘PROOF OF LIFE’ VIDEO FOR SUPREME LEADER BLOWS UP IN ITS FACE:
We haven’t seen any real evidence that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is even alive since the first attack of Operation Epic Fury on Iran on February 28.
Now the regime has released a video of the guy we like to call the “Cardboard Ayatollah.”

Iran released a rare video Sunday of its supreme leader appearing in prime condition amid his long absence from the public eye and swirling reports of deteriorating health.
The country’s semi-official Mehr News Agency flaunted video of Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, sitting in a circle and speaking with a group of men, with no context of when or where the scene took place.
So first, there’s no evidence this was after the attack.
Second, there’s no evidence of the horrible injuries he supposedly received, which suggests it was recorded before Operation Epic Fury, although you can not see the right side of his face. Supposedly, he had leg and facial injuries in that attack.
RedState’s Nick Arama writes, “The regime was trying to buffalo people. The only reason they would do this is if they couldn’t produce any real proof of life video, i.e., he is probably dead.”
Where have you gone, Miles Monroe? The mullahs turn their lonely eyes to you:
All that's left is the leader's nose. Time to check the cell structure! https://t.co/GOVTiYxWKF pic.twitter.com/08IhizCbD6
