It is important to note that similar rumours regarding the flight of various leaders frequently emerge in the Middle East during high-tension scenarios. As of the latest news, the leadership appears to be in place.

Let's see the basis of this rumour. Shia Muslims represent significant minority populations in most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, with a substantial majority in Bahrain and large communities in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
Both Bahrain and Kuwait have complex religious dynamics, with Shia communities often facing, or reporting, political and social marginalization by the Sunni-led governments. Shia citizens often face systemic limitations on religious practices and political marginalization, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
The primary difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims stems from a 7th-century dispute over succession to Prophet Muhammad. Both Sunni and Shia share the five pillars of Islam. They consist of the Shahada (faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage). There are few minor differences relating to prayer rituals, jurisprudence, and inheritance between Sunni and Shia.
Sunni focuses on the Quran and Sunnah (teachings of Prophet Muhammad), often relying on consensus of scholars, and Shia believes in a "divinely appointed" Imam, who holds absolute authority to interpret religious texts.
While sharing core beliefs, modern divides are frequently exploited for political power, influence, and territory rather than solely deep-rooted theological differences, notably in conflicts involving Iran (mostly Shia) and Saudi Arabia (mostly Sunni).
