Iran\u2019s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, would have to approve any final deal with the U.S. through secret courier networks while remaining in hiding as a “designated target,” counterterrorism experts said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented arrangement, they claimed, means Washington is negotiating a high-stakes accord with an entirely invisible counterparty, with a potential memorandum signed by a regime leader and a “designated target” who can never publicly show his face.<\/p>\n

“Khamenei is a designated target, and every confirmed sighting is a coordinate,” Dr. Omar Mohammed<\/a> told Fox News<\/a> Digital.<\/p>\n

“The courier system used for messaging is not transitional. It is the operating system of his rule.<\/p>\n

“Any deal the United States signs will have to be designed for a permanently invisible counterparty whose enforcement depends on his continued survival. That is not arms control as it has been conventionally understood. It is a memorandum signed under American military<\/a> pressure, with a regime whose leader cannot show his face.”<\/p>\n

Mohammed\u2019s remarks came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> explained to reporters in India why the deal was suffering delays.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just the response,” Rubio said. “I mean, when you get down on some of these things, you\u2019ve got to hear back, and it takes the Iranians \u2014 takes them a little while longer to get back,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“That is Secretary Rubio confirming the courier latency on the record,” said Dr. Omar Mohammed, director of the Antisemitism Research Initiative Program on Extremism at George Washington University. “Rubio is describing a structural feature of negotiating with a supreme leader no one can locate.<\/p>\n

“Mojtaba is in hiding, messages are moving by courier, and responses are arriving days late.<\/p>\n

“Rubio just confirmed the symptom, and the administration is being honest about the problem. The question is whether the framework can be designed to survive it,” Mohammed claimed.<\/p>\n

Khamenei has spent nearly three months in hiding as tensions with the U.S. escalate.<\/p>\n

He went underground as soon as a strike on Feb. 28 killed<\/a> his father, amid reports that he was gravely injured.<\/p>\n

He was struck in Operation Epic Fury \u2014 “wounded and likely disfigured<\/a>,” according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. His wife and son were killed in the same strike.<\/p>\n

“Officials at the highest levels of the Iranian<\/a> government do not know where he is,” Mohammed said, meaning every piece of information he receives is “dated, and his responses come with significant latency.”<\/p>\n

The remarks come as Iran and the United States continue talks aimed at reaching a<\/a> deal to end the war that began Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

“If there\u2019s going to be a deal, we\u2019re going to have to work through that. But this is, you know, it\u2019s either going to be a good deal or there isn\u2019t going to be one,” Rubio said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A senior administration official said the U.S. is prepared to ease sanctions if Iran makes<\/a> major concessions on uranium enrichment. Frozen Iranian assets have also emerged as a key hurdle.<\/p>\n

Iran said Monday that no agreement with the United States was imminent, despite progress toward a framework in talks.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the focus of talks remained ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and that a possible memorandum of understanding did not include specific details on managing the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The real question for Washington is not how fast the framework can be signed,” Mohammed added.<\/p>\n

“It is also what enforcement looks like when the counterparty\u2019s signature comes through a courier.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
