Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will reportedly skip his father Ali Khamenei’s funeral due to security concerns, according to a report citing a representative. The reports say the decision follows warnings connected to Israeli threats, with Iran’s Foreign Minister pointing to Israeli remarks describing Mojtaba Khamenei as “marked for death.” The accounts link the situation to broader regional tensions that have intensified since late February. Both outlets also note that Ali Khamenei dies after being killed in an airstrike on February 28, the same day described as the start of US and Israeli strikes against Iran that escalate conflict across the Middle East. While the funeral is expected to proceed without Mojtaba Khamenei, the reports add that diplomatic efforts continue. One outlet also mentions that talks in Doha on a Middle East memorandum of understanding are making “positive” progress, with further discussions scheduled after the funeral period. The reports provide the basis for the claim of Mohjtabas absence but do not include additional independent verification of the specific threat assessments described.
