Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, is missing from public view after his father’s assassination, causing global concern over his condition and Iran’s stability.

Mojtaba Khamenei, declared Iran’s new supreme leader after his father’s assassination, has not appeared publicly or delivered a traditional Nowruz address, sparking uncertainty among U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies. Despite no visual evidence of him, U.S. and Israeli sources indicate he is likely alive, possibly recovering from non-life-threatening injuries, though his exact condition and role remain unknown. Iranian officials have reportedly tried to meet him, but access has been blocked for security reasons. No verified images, videos, or audio recordings have been released, leading to speculation and scrutiny of circulating photos, some suspected of being manipulated. The absence has raised concerns about internal stability and leadership continuity in Iran.
