Modjtaba Khamenei is the newly appointed Supreme Leader of Iran, succeeding his father Ali Khamenei after the latter's death in an airstrike on February 28, 2026. He was reportedly injured in the same attack and has not appeared publicly since, with Iranian authorities citing security concerns for his absence from mourning ceremonies and official events. Despite this, he has issued statements vowing retaliation against those responsible for his father's death and approved a memorandum of understanding with the United States after receiving guarantees.
