A report originating from an Iranian cleric alleges that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Supreme Leader, survived two separate military strikes attributed to the United States and Israel. According to the account, the first strike occurred in February and targeted his father, necessitating Mojtaba's transfer to a hospital in Tehran. The cleric further claims that a subsequent strike targeted that same medical facility, resulting in Mojtaba being pulled from the rubble.

These claims have not been independently verified by international military observers or government officials in the United States or Israel. The report highlights a significant escalation in rhetoric regarding the targeting of high-ranking Iranian figures and their families. While the cleric asserts these events took place, there is currently no photographic evidence, official confirmation from the Iranian government, or public statements from U.S. or Israeli defense departments acknowledging such operations. The narrative remains centered on the cleric's testimony, which frames the events as a near-death experience for a prominent member of the Iranian leadership hierarchy.
