Iranian sources close to the government have revealed serious concerns about the health of Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader's son who assumed leadership after his father's assassination. According to two officials speaking to IranWire, Mojtaba has not met with any cabinet members since the killing of his father during the early stages of Israel's "Roaring Tiger" operation. These sources claim rumors are strong within the regime that Mojtaba is gravely ill and could die at any moment. A medical cabinet insider confirmed that no cabinet member has seen him recently and warned, "We would not be surprised if news of his death emerges soon."

Since taking power, Mojtaba Khamenei has remained absent from public appearances and has not delivered any speeches, with only a few letters attributed to him published by official news agencies. This has fueled speculation about his health and survival. An Iranian municipal Telegram channel recently explained that no audio recordings of Mojtaba have been released to prevent intelligence agencies worldwide from locating and targeting him, as Israeli Mossad agents reportedly know details about his whereabouts, possibly in an underground bunker near Qom or Tehran.

Meanwhile, Iran continues to advance its nuclear program at the critical Fordow site on Mount Machouq, despite international scrutiny. Western intelligence sources say work is ongoing and that Iran is deliberately diverting global attention to the strategic Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab regions. The Revolutionary Guards emphasize their resolve not to yield any ground, especially with U.S. midterm elections approaching in November.

Additionally, Israeli security officials warn of a surge in espionage cases involving Israeli citizens spying for Iran, including reserve soldiers in sensitive roles. The defense establishment fears that many more cases remain undetected, potentially compromising national security if critical information leaks. The combination of leadership uncertainty in Iran and ongoing covert threats heightens regional tensions and security concerns.
