[U.S. Secretary of State Rubio: No Evidence Suggests Iran's Supreme Leader Has Died] Golden Finance reported on April 28 that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, during an interview with Fox News on Monday local time, stated that there is no evidence suggesting Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has died. When asked whether he believes Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive, Rubio responded: 'We have indications that he is still alive. Clearly, they claim he is still alive. We have no evidence to suggest he is not.' 'I think being alive and being in power are two different issues. You can be alive—but I think the current unresolved question is whether he holds the same authority as his father,' Rubio said.
