Following reports claiming that Mojtaba Khamenei had left Iran, Israeli officials have clarified that these claims are false and that he remains alive and in the country. The controversy began after Saudi channel Al-Hadath cited an unnamed Israeli security source alleging that Khamenei was not in Iran and that Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi and other senior officials were issuing orders on his behalf. This report gained significant attention and raised questions about who truly controls power in Tehran.

However, Israeli security sources have stated there is no official confirmation supporting these claims. Intelligence available to Israel indicates that Mojtaba Khamenei is still in Iran. A knowledgeable security official emphasized, "He is wounded, he is alive, continues to issue directives, and Iran is still awaiting his position and instructions."
