We saw, or at least it was said that we heard from the new supreme leader of Iran
0:06
The Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting, the main state broadcaster in Iran
0:11
put out a statement with a picture of the new supreme leader, but he wasn't talking
0:17
I mean, we would never do something like that, would we? No, no, no, of course. I mean, we are always here, very much live, broadcasting to the nation
0:24
There is no hint whatsoever that we are never here and we have nipped off down the pub
0:28
and are trying to fool you in any way, shape or form
0:33
We are very, very real and present and here and definitely not following in the new Ayatollah's footsteps
0:39
by not appearing as we're supposed to be appearing. Oh, no, we're back here
0:46
OK, that was very quick. That was very good. I mean, your colouring in during the break there was remarkably good
0:51
We're very creative here at GB News. But honestly, I mean, honestly, if the Iranian regime
0:56
wants us to all believe that the new Ayatollah is genuinely issuing orders, is alive and kicking
1:03
Why can we see his face Why can he appear on television or at least even hear his voice None of which we heard Yeah the breaking news earlier on was that he has issued his first statement although it really wasn him issuing it
1:16
it was somebody reading it out while we were presented with an old photograph of him
1:21
There are various reports online about the relative state of his health
1:25
some reports saying that he's in a coma, some reports saying that he is in hospital after losing several limbs
1:30
So we honestly don't know. This is the fog of war. This is getting information out of Iran at the moment
1:35
There is a social media blackout for the ordinary people of Iran
1:39
who are caught in the middle of all of this. So we don't know the condition of him
1:44
but he has obviously issued a statement, but there is also some speculation that he might have been severely injured
1:50
on the first day. These strikes that killed his father and his wife and a child, I believe, as well
1:55
Absolutely. Well, we can promise you that it is genuinely us speaking to you here
2:00
Yes, it really is. I'm sorry about that. And we are cognizant. We're not in some hospital bed somewhere
2:05
We are actually live here and present in the studio. We are not in the pub yet
2:10
Give us time, though. I mean, it is a Thursday, I think, she says vaguely. OK, there's loads more coming up on GB News
2:16
But it is, as always, all about you
