A Twitter feed believed run by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's office, khamenei.Ir, now sports musings about his boyhood desires to work out at a gym and the pleasures of mountain strolls.
Khamenei's office has said he does not have his own Twitter account, although he does have a website, but the tweets are widely believed to be endorsed by Iran's top ruler, who rarely discusses personal matters in public.
Several messages were translated into English today apparently seeking a wider audience.
One said his father did not believe Islamic students should go to the gym but relented after a friend intervened.
