The Supreme Leader made the comments blasting America immediately after prostate surgery, perhaps in a bid to use a show of force to convince supporters he hadn't lost his revolutionary zeal.
Business Insider: Here are the most likely candidates to replace Iran's ailing Supreme Leader
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is reportedly dying.
The ayatollah, the final arbiter of all of Tehran's internal and external policies since 1989, is thought to have terminal cancer and his death could be imminent.
Once Khamenei dies, Iran will undergo an important political shift. Since the Islamic Revolution installed a clerical theocracy in 1979, the country has only had two supreme leaders, meaning there's only been a single power transition in 35 years. Khamenei has ruled as Iran's supreme leader since 1989 after the death of the first supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini.
