A single source alleges that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in his residence and that his son Mojtaba, who had left the building, survived. The report has not been independently verified, and no further details are available.
According to a single unverified report, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in his home, and his son Mojtaba, who had left the house, survived. The report provides no further details on the timing or circumstances of the alleged assassination, and no independent confirmation has been obtained.
The claim adds to a series of unverified reports about the Khamenei family's fate that have circulated since June. The Zioneer has previously documented unverified claims that Mojtaba Khamenei was abducted from a hospital after his father's assassination, that he died from airstrike injuries, and that he appeared at funeral events. The current report is the first to explicitly state that the assassination occurred at the Khamenei residence.
The report remains unverified, and no official Iranian sources have commented. The conflicting claims underscore the opacity surrounding the leadership transition in Iran.
