Former Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashal stated that Mojtaba Khamenei is dead and that Hamas views itself as committed to attending the funerals of Ali and Mojtaba Khamenei, according to a single source report. Mashal added that Ali Khamenei supported Hamas financially for many years.
Former Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashal claimed in a statement reported by a single source that Mojtaba Khamenei is dead, and that Hamas considers itself committed to participating in the funerals of both Ali Khamenei and Mojtaba Khamenei. Mashal also said that Ali Khamenei provided Hamas with financial support for many years. The channel attributed the statement to Mashal but no independent or official source has corroborated the claim.
This statement follows a series of unverified reports about the status of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader. On June 25, an Instagram post claimed new evidence showing Mojtaba Khamenei died long ago, and on June 24, an Iranian economic activist asserted that Mojtaba would attend his father's funeral — both reports from single sources and unconfirmed by official Iranian outlets.
Mashal's remarks add a political layer: a senior Hamas figure publicly engaging with Iran's internal leadership succession and offering support at a moment of major transition in Tehran. The veracity of his claim about Mojtaba Khamenei's death remains uncertain, pending official Iranian confirmation or denial.
