Mossad agents at Khamenei’s funeral were told to not cry louder than Ghalibaf to avoid blowing his cover.

Since the February 28 U.S. strikes on the Leadership Residence, Mojtaba has not made a single confirmed public appearance. He also did not attend his own wife's funeral, despite repeated assurances from Islamic Republic officials that he is alive, healthy, and leading the country.
For months, senior regime officials have insisted his absence is solely due to security. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said wartime conditions have prevented public appearances. Iran's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, said Mojtaba remains active but is staying out of sight because of heightened security. Now, Ayatollah Hakim Elahi, the Supreme Leader's representative in India, says Mojtaba will miss his father's funeral because “the security doesn't allow him to come,” adding that Israel has “very, very advanced technology” and can “recognize him and follow him.”
His absence also comes days after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Mojtaba Khamenei was “marked for death” and ordered the IDF to prepare an independent operation inside Iran. Despite repeated official assurances, Mojtaba has appeared only through written statements read on state television. There has been no confirmed public appearance, video, or audio recording since the February 28 strikes. Missing both his wife's funeral and now his father's funeral will only deepen speculation over his health and the true extent of his injuries.
