https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibatullah_Akhundzada

Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada,[a] also spelled Haibatullah Akhunzada,[b] is an Afghan cleric who is the supreme leader of Afghanistan in the internationally unrecognized Taliban regime. He has led the Taliban since 2016, and came to power with its victory over U.S.-backed forces in the 2001–2021 war.

Deputy

  • Sirajuddin Haqqani
  • Mullah Yaqoob
  • Abdul Ghani Baradar

Did he not realize he wasn't talking to the leader but instead his deputy, or did he just make all of it up?
