A report by The New York Times claims that Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously injured in an airstrike linked to tensions involving the United States and Israel. The report also states that his father, Ali Khamenei, was killed in the same incident.
According to the report, Mojtaba Khamenei is conscious and mentally aware but has suffered serious physical injuries.
These reportedly include burns and complications that required multiple surgeries. Due to his condition, he has not appeared in public and is said to be communicating through written messages while staying in a secure location.
Sources mentioned in the report suggest that he has handed over many key responsibilities to senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These officials are currently managing important decisions, including military and strategic matters.
The report also indicates that access to information about his condition is very limited. Masoud Pezeshkian is said to be involved in overseeing aspects of his care.
Meanwhile, the country’s military leadership continues to handle operations and planning. This includes decisions related to the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions remain high.
Observers say the situation reflects ongoing uncertainty in the region. With limited confirmed details available, developments are being closely monitored as political and security conditions continue to evolve.
