Mojtaba Khamenei, considered a potential successor to Iran’s supreme leadership, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, according to two Iranian sources cited by Reuters. The report did not specify the location or method of the attack. Mojtaba, previously described in a 2008 U.S. diplomatic cable as a capable and powerful leader, has been viewed as a key figure in Iran’s political hierarchy.
The incident follows the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike on Saturday after serving 36 years as the country’s top religious authority. In the aftermath, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that whoever becomes Iran’s next supreme leader would also be targeted, posting the threat on social media platform X.
The attack on Mojtaba Khamenei and the warning from Israel come amid heightened regional instability following the joint strike and ongoing displacement in Lebanon due to Israeli operations.
