New evidence reportedly shows Mojtaba Khamenei died long ago

Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 17:30

TL;DR

An Instagram post claims to present new evidence that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei died long ago, according to an unverified report on the Reganews Instagram account. The claim has not been independently corroborated.

01 · THE DISPATCH

An Instagram post cited by the source claims that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei died long ago and that 'new evidence' has surfaced. The post, published Thursday afternoon by the account 'reganews,' has not been independently verified, and no official Iranian source has commented. The report adds to a turbulent news cycle surrounding the Khamenei leadership: earlier reports — some conflicting — suggested he was abducted from a hospital, would attend his father's funeral, or had been injured in a strike that killed his predecessor, Ali Khamenei. No single narrative has been confirmed. The present 'new evidence' claim rests on a single, unvetted source and should be treated with caution.
