Reports have emerged claiming that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a key political figure, is currently unconscious and receiving treatment at a hospital in Qom.
According to a report cited by The Times, which referenced a diplomatic memo shared by US-Israeli intelligence with Gulf allies, Mojtaba Khamenei was allegedly injured in the same strike that reportedly killed his father on February 28. The memo further suggests that he is unable to carry out leadership responsibilities, raising questions about Iran’s current internal power structure.
The report also claims that US and allied intelligence may have tracked Mojtaba Khamenei’s location. However, Iran has not publicly confirmed these claims. In fact, Iranian officials have repeatedly maintained that the Supreme Leader remains in control of the country, despite his prolonged absence from public view fueling speculation.
Earlier, circulating rumors claimed that the 56-year-old had died, but these were officially denied by Tehran. Meanwhile, Iranian state media had previously released footage showing senior leadership addressing security concerns and reviewing strategic matters, including tensions with Israel.
The diplomatic memo further allegedly mentions contingency planning related to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s succession and possible burial arrangements in Qom, though none of these details have been independently verified.
The developments come amid heightened tensions after Iran rejected a ceasefire proposal reportedly backed by the United States and mediated through diplomatic channels. Tehran has instead insisted on a permanent end to hostilities, along with demands such as safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, and reconstruction support.
Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that military operations against Iranian infrastructure would intensify, warning that upcoming strikes would be even larger. He reiterated that Iran still has an opportunity to “choose wisely” as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
