LIGHTLY INJURED
Following the bombshell of these claims, an Iranian official stated to the Reuters news agency that Iran's new religious leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was lightly injured in the attacks. It was reported that Mojtaba Khamenei, whose health is good, continues to carry out his duties.
BECAME A LEADER BUT LOST EVERYTHING
Iran's new religious leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has lost many close relatives from his family during the ongoing war. It has been reported that many members of his family, including his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have lost their lives in the attacks.
HIS FATHER ALI KHAMENEY DIED IN THE INITIAL ATTACKS
Iran's religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, lost his life in the attacks carried out in the early days of the war. The death of Ali Khamenei, who was a significant figure in the Iranian administration for many years, accelerated the leadership process in the country, and subsequently, Mojtaba Khamenei was elected as the new religious leader.
HE ALSO LOST HIS WIFE AND CHILD
Mojtaba Khamenei's wife, Zahra Haddad Adel, also lost her life in the attacks. It has been reported that one of Khamenei's sons also lost his life in the attacks on the family.
SUFFERED MANY LOSSES FROM HIS FAMILY
During the war, there were other losses from the Khamenei family. Mojtaba Khamenei's sister, brother-in-law, and some relatives were among those who lost their lives in the attacks. Additionally, it has been reported that some of Ali Khamenei's grandchildren were also killed in the attacks.
WHO IS MOJTABA KHAMENEY?
Mojtaba Khamenei is the second son of Iran's religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and has been recognized as one of the influential figures in Iranian politics for many years. Born in 1969 in the city of Mashhad, Khamenei received his religious education in the seminaries of Qom.
Although he does not hold an official state position in Iran, he is considered an influential figure in the country's politics, especially due to his close relationships with the Revolutionary Guards and conservative political circles. Mojtaba Khamenei's name frequently comes up, particularly in discussions regarding Iran's internal political balances and religious leadership.
During the protests that followed the controversial presidential elections in Iran in 2009, his name also emerged in the public eye, with some political circles claiming that Khamenei was influential behind the scenes.
Mojtaba Khamenei, who has been noted to hold a strong position within Iran's religious and political structure for a long time, was seen as one of the names mentioned for the country's religious leadership after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
