Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly canceled his annual Air Force Day speech in a highly unusual move, sparking intense speculation over assassination fears and a growing security alert in Tehran. According to Iran International, the long-standing military tradition was abruptly scrapped because the fixed date could allow hostile intelligence services to pinpoint Khamenei’s exact location. This marks the first time in nearly five decades that the Supreme Leader has missed the symbolic event, underscoring rising tensions as U.S.–Iran nuclear diplomacy resumes in Oman under the shadow of escalating military pressure. President Donald Trump has issued sharp warnings toward Tehran, while Iran insists the American buildup does not intimidate the Islamic Republic.
