Latest News about Mojtaba Khamenei
Mojtaba Khamenei said that anyone expecting a change in US policy toward Iran was seriously mistaken, responding to Republican losses in the US midterm elections. The message came during rallies marking the anniversary of the 1979 hostage crisis, and he also warned against any inclination toward submission in ongoing negotiations.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Mojtaba Khamenei was in good health and had recovered from injuries sustained in an airstrike early in the conflict. Pezeshkian said he had met the supreme leader twice, though the leader has remained largely absent from public view.
Mojtaba Khamenei issued his first statement as supreme leader, calling for national unity and vowing that Iran would keep fighting. The statement was read on state media rather than delivered by him in person, which fuelled rumours that he had been injured in the ongoing war with the US and Israel.
The Assembly of Experts appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's third supreme leader after the death of Ali Khamenei at the start of the 2026 Iran conflict. Reports described the move as a major transfer of power within the Khamenei family, with state media portraying it as a formal succession rather than a contested leadership transition.
