26:25Now PlayingIran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei sparked a major controversy and criticism, especially on social media, after claiming that God had spoken through him. This statement was made during a meeting with the family of the slain IRGC operative, Qasem Soleimani. Khamenei recounted an incident from over two decades ago where, after prayers with IRGC commanders, he felt divinely inspired during a speech. "It was my mouth and God's words," he claimed, adding that the speech had a significant impact. This assertion, however, is considered blasphemous in Islamic theology, which holds that Allah last communicated exclusively with the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. The claim has led to widespread criticism, with one Iranian social media user writing on X that "If an ordinary person had uttered the same statement, they would have been executed on charges of blasphemy, insulting sanctities, insulting the Supreme Leader, blasphemy against the Imams, and more." The incident reflects deep tensions and contradictions within Iran's political and religious discourse.
