I found the article:
Pajamas Media: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Reported Dead -- Still Unconfirmed
January 4, 2007 11:35 AM
A source close to Pajamas Media has learned that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has apparently succumbed to the cancer that hospitalized him last month, as exclusively reported by Pajamas Media, at age 67. He has been Iran’s most powerful figure since replacing Ayatollah Khomeini in the role of Supreme Leader in 1989.
I'm not real familiar with the government in Iran but is the Shah considered Supreme Leader, and have final say on issues over the PM ?
