  • Revise the passive phrase "got caught up in the opening strikes of the last Israel-Iran war" to name the agent responsible for those strikes, or explicitly state and explain why attribution is uncertain.
  • Amend the headline to reflect the article's content more faithfully, for example: "Khamenei, whose father was killed in the Israel-Iran war and who hasn't been seen in months, calls for 'unity among Muslims' in post to Gulf States", or amend the body text so that the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is reported in active voice with the responsible party named or the uncertainty of attribution acknowledged.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei released a written statement on Sunday urging Gulf rulers to "identify their real enemy and understand the plans to confront it."Khamenei's message, issued in commemoration of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, also called for "unity among Muslims" and mutual defense against their enemies.Iran's leader hasn't been seen for months since he got caught up in the opening strikes of the last Israel-Iran war, where his father, a predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed.According to Israeli and American assessments, Khamenei survived the attack, was severely wounded, but still continued to rule the country."The Muslims' unity in the face of the world's disbelief is a Quranic strategy and a basic teaching of the pure Islam of Prophet Muhammad, not a superficial or transient matter," Khamenei wrote in his statement.Araghchi pushes for diplomacyLast Tuesday, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi published a message saying that "Iran's commitment to peace and stability is matched by steadfast diplomacy with our neighbors."The Iranian official has been meeting with several representatives from neighboring nations, mainly from Oman and Pakistan, in a new push for regional diplomacy."In talks with Pakistani and Omani guests, regional solutions were stressed.
