Iran’s leadership transition is under the global spotlight and a newly released video is only adding to the uncertainty. State broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) has published a brief, undated clip showing Mojtaba Khamenei teaching religious students. But with no timestamp, location confirmation, or context, the footage has sparked more questions than answers. The video arrives at a sensitive moment following reports surrounding the death of Ali Khamenei and the presumed rise of Mojtaba to Iran’s highest position of power. Despite the claim, Mojtaba has remained largely absent from public view, fueling speculation over his health, condition, and even whereabouts.
