Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was allegedly injured in an airstrike, has not been seen publicly, and is rumored to cooperate with the IRGC.

The claims are largely supported by available web evidence and news reports. The claim that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in an airstrike that killed Ali Khamenei is corroborated by multiple reliable sources, leading to a high confidence score. His absence from public view following his appointment is also supported by media reports, contributing to high certainty in that claim. The use of AI-generated images by Iranian state media is substantiated by discussions about the usage of such technology in current war contexts. Lastly, cooperation with the IRGC is indicated by historical patterns of collaboration, supporting the claim to a moderate extent.
