Iranian Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Reportedly Absent from Country Amid Regime Turmoil

A senior Israeli security source revealed to the Saudi television channel Al-Hadath that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of Iran's regime, is not currently present within the Islamic Republic. According to the report, Mojtaba Khamenei, who assumed leadership, is completely disconnected from events on the ground. This total detachment has resulted in all recent official statements and written communiques issued in his name being forged and not directly linked to him.

The source detailed that behind the scenes, a deception operation is underway within Iran's leadership. The actual authors and distributors of these messages and directives are led by the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Ahmad Vahidi, along with other senior figures in the organization. It is assessed that the IRGC leadership is attempting to conceal the leader's absence from the country and create a false impression of continuity, political stability, and full control amid the regime's ongoing upheaval.
