Mojtaba Khamenei, previously reported as the new Supreme Leader, held a rare meeting with Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on October 21. This meeting, following earlier reported talks with the president, suggests internal coordination amid heightened US-Israel tensions, though Mojtaba's public absence since March raises uncertainty about his official role and the regime's decision-making. One emerging claim alleges former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in February, with Mojtaba now leading under wartime conditions.
