Unverified Iranian reports circulated over the past hours claim that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei appeared at events marking the funeral of his father, the late Ali Khamenei. The reports, cited by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, have not been confirmed by official Iranian sources, and no proof has been provided.
The Zioneer has previously reported extensively on the absence of Mojtaba Khamenei from his father's funeral and burial, which sparked widespread speculation about his status. His three brothers attended the funeral on July 5, while Mojtaba remained out of sight, reportedly due to security concerns. The new claim, if verified, would mark a significant shift in the narrative surrounding the successor's whereabouts.
At this stage, the reports remain unconfirmed and should be treated with caution.
