Injured heir Mojtaba Khamenei unlikely to attend father's funeral as Iran war persists

Iran’s 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, named successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has not appeared publicly since the war began and is not expected to attend his father’s funeral after sustaining severe injuries from the strike that killed him; the full extent of his injuries remains unclear. The elder Khamenei’s funeral began with a viewing by top officials and is expected to draw millions, as Iran warns the US and Israel against attacks.

Iran's top leadership under strain as ex-negotiator claims secret directives from supreme leader

A former Iranian negotiator, Mahmoud Nabavian, claims to have seen secret correspondence from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that allegedly overruled or constrained the government’s negotiating team. The interview on state TV was cut short, and Nabavian faces potential legal action, amid broader tensions between hardliners and centrists. Nabavian’s account describes 11 conditions for continuing talks, including compensation from the US, retaining uranium enrichment rights, sanctions relief, releasing frozen assets, and control over the Hormuz Strait. The episode suggests the supreme leader is taking a hands-on approach to negotiations, with the broadcaster resigning staff and officials disputing the claims as old or illegal.

Wounded New Iranian Leader Sparks Questions About Governance, Says Hegseth

Reuters reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s newly named Supreme Leader, is wounded and likely disfigured, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, raising questions about his ability to govern amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli strikes. Iran says the injuries are light, but the conflict has intensified: the U.S. has struck thousands of Iran targets, roughly 2,000 Iranians have been killed, and Washington is deploying additional forces including ships and Marines to the region as both sides incur casualties.

Iran names Mojtaba Khamenei as new supreme leader amid regional crisis

Iran’s Assembly of Experts appointed Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as supreme leader following his father’s death in US-Israeli strikes. Seen as a move to ensure continuity and a hardline stance, the decision has backing from the IRGC and Iran’s security establishment. Reactions abroad were mixed: Oman and Iraq offered congratulations; the US’s Donald Trump criticized the choice; Israel condemned it as a continuation of the regime’s brutality; Russia pledged unwavering support, China cited sovereignty, and Yemen’s Houthis welcomed the appointment, all against the backdrop of the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran and Tehran’s broader crisis.

Iran appoints Mojtaba Khamenei as next supreme leader amid widening Middle East conflict

Iran's Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei, the late leader Ali Khamenei's son, as the next supreme leader, placing him in charge of Iran’s armed forces and nuclear policy as Tehran intensifies its war with the U.S. and Israel. The move comes as regional fighting drives oil above $100 a barrel, prompts Saudi warnings, and triggers mass displacement across Lebanon and other fronts.
