Report: Iran's Khamenei likely to live only two years
2015-03-02
Be still, my heart!
[RUDAW.NET] Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will likely live only two more years, the French daily Le Figaro reported on Saturday, citing intelligence sources.

The paper wrote that Khamenei's prostate cancer has reached stage four and has started to spread to the rest of his body, according to Western intelligence sources. The 76-year-old leader was admitted to hospital last September for cancer treatment.

Le Figaro's report raises the question of Khamenei's successor, and a possible power struggle among Iran's top political and religious leaders after his death.

Iranian state media have regularly published pictures of the all-powerful supreme leader on his hospital bed and under surgery. Analysts believe that the publication of his health condition has Khamenei's own approval.

Shortly after he was admitted to hospital last year, Iran's former Intelligence Minister Ghorbanali Dari Najaf Abadi said in a public speech: "In any case, we have to start thinking about the era after him (Khamenei)."
