Mojtaba Khamenei was selected by Iran's Assembly of Experts as Supreme Leader in early March 2026 following his father Ali Khamenei's death in February US-Israeli strikes. He has issued written statements and decrees since assuming office but has recorded no verified public appearances, speeches, photographs, or video footage. Iranian officials have repeatedly asserted his good health and referenced private meetings or visits, including recent claims of encounters during funeral proceedings or at the Imam Reza shrine, while citing security concerns tied to the ongoing conflict. Regime accounts continue to release textual updates on his behalf, such as meetings with parliamentary leaders, yet independent confirmation remains absent amid reports of injuries sustained in the initial attack. This extended absence shapes trader assessments of any near-term public appearance deadline.
