Iranian media reports and Western intelligence assessments suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei, the influential son of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been in hiding since before the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. According to multiple sources cited by NDTV, he has not made any public appearances since the beginning of the war and is believed to be taking extreme precautions to evade potential airstrikes similar to those carried out during "Operation Epic Fury"—a reported covert campaign involving Israeli and US strikes against Iranian military and nuclear facilities.
Sources indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, who holds significant influence within Iran’s clerical and security apparatus, is now relying on a tightly controlled courier network to relay instructions and receive critical information. This move is seen as a direct response to the perceived vulnerability exposed during recent military operations. While Iranian officials have not issued any public statements regarding his whereabouts or health, unconfirmed reports suggest he may have been injured in earlier strikes.
