Iran's fragile regime suffered another blow today as reports emerged that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the man briefly installed as supreme leader, has been killed...
Mojtaba, long viewed as the hardline favorite to inherit power despite no formal public role, was reportedly named successor earlier this week amid chaos and Israeli warnings that any new leader would become a target,..
Circulating accounts, including from sources inside Iran, claim Mojtaba was eliminated today—his tenure lasting mere hours—after strikes hit his location. Social media erupted with claims of confirmation, including posts noting his "career" from appointment to death spanned only an afternoon.
Major outlets like Reuters, AP, and The New York Times, as of early March, reported Mojtaba alive and in hiding following his father's death, with succession talks ongoing but no final announcement. Yet today's unverified but persistent reports suggest Israel's threats proved real, delivering swift justice to the regime's would-be heir.
The pattern is clear: attempts to prop up Khamenei's theocratic dynasty meet the same fate as the original tyrant. Iran's mullahs face a stark choice—persist in aggression or face total collapse.

Mojtaba, we hardly knew ye…
Bomb Magnets
Old news! Heard this days ago.
But, but, but, who will unconditionally surrender if all the Supreme Leaders are dead?
They just don’t understand ... The USA is not going to allow any Ayatollah as Ruler or Supreme Leader.
They can have an Ayatollah, but he has to be like the one in Iraq — Ayatollah Al Sistani. NOT a clerical ruler of the country, but someone who believes that religious authority should be moral, not governmental.
Next!
rumors only:
“No, it is not true that Mojtaba Khamenei has been killed. Reliable reports from major news outlets (including Reuters, The New York Times, AP, BBC, and others) as of early March 2026 indicate that he is alive, though his precise location may be unknown or he’s likely in hiding amid the ongoing US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran.
His father, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike on his compound in Tehran around late February/early March 2026 (reports cite dates like February 28 or early March).
That attack also killed other family members (including Mojtaba’s wife in some accounts, and another son), but Mojtaba was not present in Tehran at the time.Multiple Iranian sources cited by Reuters explicitly stated Mojtaba is alive and was not in the targeted location.
He has emerged as the leading candidate (or in some reports, already selected by Iran’s Assembly of Experts) to succeed his father as Supreme Leader, with discussions focusing on his potential role amid the war.
Wikipedia and other summaries reflect this, noting him as tipped for succession post his father’s assassination.
Claims of Mojtaba’s death appear to stem from unverified social media rumors, YouTube videos, and viral posts (including some on X claiming he was “killed today” or shortly after succession).
These lack credible sourcing and contradict established reporting from mainstream outlets. Some seem to be misinformation or exaggeration in the fog of war.The situation remains fluid due to the active conflict, but as of the latest available information (around March 6-7, 2026), there is no confirmed report of Mojtaba Khamenei’s death from authoritative sources.”
RE: Old news! Heard this days ago.
Can you show us the thread that was posted regarding the elimination of Mojtaba Khamenei days ago? Thanks.
Even if he was just killed today? You must be psychic.
All he has to do is appear in public to nail the rumors.
Of course, if he does that, it won’t be a rumor for more than a couple of minutes...decisions, decisions.
Rumours of him being alive have been greatly exaggerated!
Glad my mouth was empty.
Just - Damn Son. I don’t have the words.
Gonna wait for other verification.
Looks like the US and Israel won’t stand for a theocratic tyrant.
If true—
I feel better about the 10% jump in gas prices that hit Saturday afternoon.
If true, someone cue the “Ha Ha” guy.
They race towards the door. Last one out is the new Mullah.
I already heard this next week.
Contradicts other reporting on majtaba selection.
Wikipedia is worthless on religion or politics. Looks like something out of an AI.
Post is not credible.
Who want’s to be next?
