U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s supreme leader, remains deeply involved in shaping the country’s wartime strategy despite his continued absence from the public eye, according to reports.
The assessments suggest that Mojtaba works alongside senior Iranian officials to determine key military decisions, positioning him as a central figure in Tehran’s approach to regional confrontations. While internal power dynamics among Iran’s leadership remain opaque, multiple factions are believed to be competing for influence behind the scenes, the reports said.
According to the U.S. analysis, Mojtaba is seen as one of the principal decision-makers helping to guide Iran’s potential negotiations with the United States amid ongoing regional tensions.
Meanwhile, Iranian sources have claimed that Mojtaba has recovered from previously undisclosed injuries and that his health has stabilized. Those reports emerged shortly after Iran’s president was reportedly seen meeting face-to-face with Mojtaba, fueling further speculation about his expanding political and strategic influence inside the Islamic Republic.
