A leaked US diplomatic cable from August 2009 expected the imminent demise of Iran's supreme leader. The latest group of documents released by WikiLeaks included a report from an un-named informant that Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei suffers from terminal cancer and is "expected to die in months,"
The information about Khamenei's situation comes from a partially redacted American diplomatic cable in which an un-named businessman reports a discussion that one of his contacts had with former Iranian President Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, who told him that Khamenei has terminal leukemia.
