Allegedly AI per this channel. They know more about the room than I do and say it was generated off of this photo of shaheed Khamenei meeting with the family of shaheed Soleimani
Original 12/1/23
Chair taller in AI
Carpet and bookshelf different colors
The actual location of his assassination
Also, there isn't a window/curtain in the real photo.
NO wall-art? Everything crammed in a corner? Harsh overhead lights? Bad office vibes due to no windows? Okay the guy deserved the missiles.
You can't be that old and still live in a sad-boy home.
I'm allowed to say this because it's AI.
Unlike the US leader, he can read
Masallah, he was martyrd with a Quran in hands.
It looks like PressTV deleted the post. I'm not sure why.
Possibly AI? It's kinda got those vibes with the whole layout.
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 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 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'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 twitch 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 found that i still have the PressTV tweet open in one of my browser tabs. screenshot below.
For a second I thought that was a picture of Jeffery Epstein on the table.
The photograph on the table is Qasem Soleimani, who was an Iranian Military Leader that the US assassinated in January 2020. Soleimani is also considered to be a martyr so it is fitting that Khamenei would choose to be martyred with this photo.
After the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, Iranian News agency IRIB said that Americans don't know what it's like to lose a hero like Soleimani because Americans only have fake heroes like Spiderman and Spongebob.
if you looked at a living room in australia and saw those doilies, the couch would also be wrapped in protective plastic
That's a lotta tissues.
There's a lot of reasons to be crying in Iran lately
I wanted to say something about the tissues and the couch, but I didn't want to come off as insensitive.
What’s wrong with the couch? Looks cool
Goon cave
it's a fatWA not a fat WAD you perverts 
Get your mind out of the gutter. It is easy to be overcome with emotion while reading the words of Allah.
With cameras 🤔
Was he not in a bunker?
no, they actually had even stated that he would not be in hiding. he was martyred at home with his family. i think it makes sense too, i mean he was in his 80's and had spent his life looking forward to one day giving his life for the Islamic Republic, and this certainly sends a fundamentally stabilizing and unifying message to the people.
He should have sent his family and guards away tbh
with peace and love i don't think my amerikkkan ass has any right to suggest what any Iranian should or should not do, did or did not choose for themselves. however, i have to assume that they must have been aware of the risk. there is such a notion as duty that often transcends an individual's self-interest.
True but still if I was expecting the Great Satan to try and blow me up I'd tell my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to clear out at least and get them into a bunker
It makes sense to me that someone could have a number of reasons for taking the risk, but at least one of the martyred family members was a young child, right? Or did she just happen to die at around the same time with all the bombing going on?
that's not a detail i'm familiar with.
Sending away the guards would be just asking for Israel to send some agent they have to kill him on the pretext of "The Iranian people rising up!" or something asinine like that.
It says he was in his office. People have been saying that he wanted to be martyred, so he was not hiding. PressTV is a public international news station in Iran.
Damn, that's bittersweet, here I thought he was in hiding when he was killed.
He chose to be martyred and the empire delivered the gift to him. It's believed he had a terminal cancer diagnosis. Legendary chess.
He is a cancer survivor, maybe it came back?
Hits close to home with me and my dad's cancer. Sometimes people just want to go out on their own terms and I get that.
You do what you can, at such old age...
