Iranian media has claimed that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is alive and in good health, dismissing earlier foreign media reports that suggested he had been killed.
According to Iranian outlets, Mojtaba Khamenei has fully recovered and is currently overseeing key state affairs. The reports reject claims that he was killed alongside his father during recent airstrikes.
Strikes on Iran
On Saturday, Israel and the United States reportedly carried out coordinated strikes across Iran, targeting multiple locations.
Iranian media stated that:
-
The office compound of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was struck.
-
The building of the Assembly of Experts in Qom was bombed.
-
Explosions were also reported near Enghelab Square in Tehran.
The Assembly of Experts is the clerical body responsible for appointing Iran’s Supreme Leader.
Conflicting Reports
While foreign media earlier claimed Mojtaba Khamenei had been killed, Iranian state-linked sources have strongly denied those reports. Independent verification of the claims remains limited amid ongoing hostilities and restricted information flow.
The situation continues to evolve as regional tensions remain high.
