A Saudi media report claims that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader, has left Iran. The report is single-sourced and unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian authorities or other sources.
A Saudi media report released Sunday morning claims that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son and designated successor of the late Supreme Leader, has left Iran. The report is based on a single source and remains unverified; no Iranian official or other independent outlet has corroborated the claim. The Zioneer has previously reported on speculation about Khamenei's whereabouts, including an Israeli security source's statement that he was not in Iran, and an unverified report that he did not attend his wife's funeral. The current report, if accurate, would mark a significant development in the uncertain status of Iran's leadership transition.
