Iran’s Khamenei Ill Or Dead? Rumors Swirl as Mojtaba Khamenei’s Succession Dawns Amid Israel Tension
According to Ynet News and Iran International reports, Tehran has secretly selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran's next leader.
The decision reportedly came during a confidential September 26 Assembly of Experts meeting, called due to the 85-year-old leader's alleged illness.
Despite initial opposition, 60 assembly members unanimously approved the succession under pressure.
Sources suggest power transfer might occur during the elder Khamenei's lifetime to ensure smooth transition.
In a defiant statement, Ali Larijani, advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for Hezbollah and the regional Front of Resistance amidst escalating Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Speaking in Beirut following a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Larijani emphasised that Iran’s commitment to the resistance was unshakeable. He condemned Israeli aggression, which has led to thousands of casualties and widespread displacement in southern Lebanon, and expressed confidence in Hezbollah’s ability to defend the country. Larijani’s comments come as Iran continues to play a central role in supporting Lebanon’s sovereignty and resisting external pressures.

In a stark warning amid escalating tensions, a top advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged caution, advising against a hasty or instinctive response to recent Israeli provocations. The advisor, Ali Larijani, highlighted that Israel aims to draw Iran into a direct conflict through deliberate provocations, setting a strategic trap for Tehran. He emphasised the need for a calculated approach, stressing that Iran’s actions should be guided by long-term strategy rather than emotion. The statement reflects a growing concern within Iran’s leadership over potential escalation with Israel and its regional allies, urging restraint and strategic patience.

In a grave escalation of warnings, the United States has issued what may be its most severe caution to Iran yet, following rising tensions in the Middle East. Washington has reportedly communicated to Tehran that any further attacks on Israel could trigger a forceful and unrestrained response from Tel Aviv. Sources indicate that the message underscores the U.S.'s inability—or unwillingness—to prevent Israel from retaliating with overwhelming force if provoked. This warning comes amid increased hostilities in the region, with both nations ramping up their military readiness. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has responded defiantly, vowing a "crushing response" if Israel or the U.S. acts against Iran or its allies. The U.S. stance highlights the high-stakes environment, with officials watching closely for any potential shift in Iran’s position as the region teeters on the brink of wider conflict.

In a passionate and defiant address, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a stark ultimatum to Israel and the United States, threatening "devastating retaliation" for their continued military actions against Iran and its allies. Khamenei's remarks come in the wake of escalating tensions following Israel's recent strikes on Iranian military targets, which Iran claims resulted in significant casualties. As the region brims with uncertainty and fear of further conflict, Khamenei's warning serves as a potent reminder of the fragile balance of power in the Middle East. The implications of his threats could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Iran's relations with its adversaries but also for the stability of the entire region. With potential military responses looming, the international community watches closely, aware that any miscalculation could ignite a wider confrontation.

In a dramatic revelation, Iran reportedly sent a confidential message to the United States prior to the 2024 presidential election, assuring Washington that it had no plans to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. This assurance, delivered in mid-October, was Tehran's response to a stern warning from the U.S., which had made it clear that any attempt on the life of a former American official would be considered “an act of war.”

Iran's leadership signals openness to communication with the US following Trump's election victory, with Foreign Minister Araghchi confirming existing channels remain open.

The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region. The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria. Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces. The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region. Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants. The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
