Reports of Mojtaba Khamenei Attending Friday Prayers Unverified; No Official Confirmation Yet: Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani

.
New Delhi, October 8: Shia cleric and leader Maulana Hasan Ali Rajani has stated that there has been no credible official confirmation regarding the circulating reports that Mojtaba Khamenei will attend the upcoming Friday prayers. Maulana Rajani remarked that presenting information spread via social media or unverified sources as definitive news does not constitute sound journalistic practice. He emphasized that if a formal decision or announcement regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's participation in Friday prayers is made, it should only be reported after confirmation from relevant Iranian government bodies or credible sources. Rajani noted that, in the current situation, claiming "Mojtaba Khamenei is attending Friday prayers" amounts to an unverified assertion that cannot be treated as factual news without confirmation. He urged the media and social media users to rely on trustworthy and official sources rather than rumors when dealing with sensitive political and religious matters.
