A few minutes before martyrdom…
This is the last image captured by the CCTV camera at the office of the martyred Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

It looks like PressTV deleted the post. I’m not sure why.
Possibly AI? It’s kinda got those vibes with the whole layout.
It doesn’t look like AI. Three identical small tables with consistently sized parallel slats, consistently shaped and spaced carved details on the board in the couch, everything’s the right scale, uncanny and awkward lighting consistent with a room like that but not consistent with professionally framed and lit pictures AI is trained on, and everything’s just sort of realistically unphotogenic and just a bit off in a way AI doesn’t do.
It could be edited with AI to alter the composition somehow, but I’d say most of it is an actual photo of a room.
yeah if this is AI it’s the best I’ve seen yet and I’ll admit we’re fucked if that’s where it is.
Looks like a cheap building, that’s the uncanny thing about it. world leader sitting in a crummy office space
Looks cheap because of the hideously dated decor but I suspect that is just what he liked.
Elderly folks are the same everywhere.
I thought AI instantly but not based on any tells or cues in the image. Just the timing makes me suspicious because it seems like something with a lot of propaganda potential for galvanising the population during presumably extremely trying times to say the least.
It’s the Solemani picture right next to him that makes me think it’s at the very least altered. I know he was a martyr, but just having a framed picture of him positioned perfectly for the CCTV to see is odd. You’d expect it to at least be on a wall or something.
I’m not sure why the publicly-owned Iranian news station would post an AI photo of Khamenei.
It’s possible that it is a real photo but not the last photo. I tried doing reverse image search and didn’t find any results.
PressTV is a reliable source. On the wikipedia page, it lists the URL presstv.ir and then you go to that URL and it lists their twitter account in the top right corner of the webpage.

Only saying that because they removed it (which they would do if it was since they’re a good news source). Might have been a bad source. Could also be that they decided it wasn’t appropriate? Who knows
I mean the room is austere but he was literally a cleric.
Who puts all that shit tightly in one corner and leaves a bunch of empty carpet around it? What kind of room is this?
I mean it’s kind of a textbook reading nook… Albeit a sparse one.
I found that i still have the PressTV tweet open in one of my browser tabs. screenshot below.
