Khamenei ‘MISSING’ at Key Iran Air Force Ceremony | Officials Meet Khomeini’s Grandson Instead |N18G

Описание: A decades-old ritual at the heart of Iran’s power structure has been quietly broken. For the first time in 37 years, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei did not attend the annual February 8th meeting where Iran’s air force commanders traditionally pledge allegiance. Instead of standing before the Supreme Leader, commanders were received by Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the Islamic Republic’s founder — a shift loaded with symbolism in a system where optics signal authority. Khamenei has upheld this ritual every year since assuming leadership in 1989, even during war, unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic. His absence this year, replaced by Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, has raised questions at a moment of heightened regional tension and expanding U.S. military presence near Iran. As Tehran faces growing external pressure, the break in tradition has sparked speculation over what message is being sent — and to whom — when a single absence speaks louder than words.
