It's said the guy hasn't been publicly seen/perceived in six months. All the while this somehow isn't the absentee issue history typically expects.

Devil’s Advocate: say they admit that he’s dead, that starts a clock to find a replacement, and when one is found they immediately have a target put on their back

What benefit does that give Iran? They’d be right where they started

With that said I think he’s turbo dead, and I’m happy to eat crow when he recovers and makes media appearances

    From iran here, it's widely believed that he is alive but so heavily injured he can't do anything.
