Rumoured dead: Ayatolah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran

This is still a rumour – and speculation around Khamanei’s death has surfaced before, notably in 2007.

If he is dead, there is likely to be a power struggle in Iran among the Mullahs, with the added dynamic of the still-smouldering protest movement in the country. If true his death could prove to herald even more interesting times ahead in Iran and the region.

More if/when we have it.
