Leeden served as an advisor to the US Department of State, to Israeli intelligence services and is an expert on terrorism and foreign policy. Before publishing the full text that came into his hands, Ledeen warned that “Trust me but check it out, I’m doing my best. On Monday afternoon, at 2.$%pm local time, Khamenei collapsed and was taken to his private clinic. Nobody (except for his son and his doctors) has been allowed to stay by his side.
