US Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioned whether Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has the clerical credentials to actually act as supreme leader, and whether he is truly making decisions or someone else is. Rubio stated on Fox News that the US has no evidence that Khamenei is not alive, but distinguished between being alive and in power. The comments come amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and the naval blockade.
