Iran's political landscape has been significantly shaken following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a major attack by the US and Israel on February 28. In the wake of this incident, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the deceased leader, was appointed as the new Supreme Leader on March 9. However, since his accession to power, he has remained completely out of the public eye, sparking rumors and concerns about his health and ability to govern the country effectively.

Reports suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei was also injured in the attack that killed his father, but US and Israeli intelligence sources indicate that he is alive, albeit not capable of making public statements or appearances due to the severity of his injuries. This situation has led to speculation whether the Iranian government is functioning under the actual leadership of Mojtaba or if it is being controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), raising doubts about the stability and transparency of Iran's leadership structure.

Experts in Israeli security, including Raz Zimet, have noted that the lack of visibility of the new Supreme Leader, combined with the IRGC's historically significant power within Iranian politics, could lead to a power vacuum or significant changes in the way Iran is governed. This scenario poses critical questions about the future political dynamics in Iran, the potential for internal power struggles, and the implications for regional security in a tense geopolitical environment.
