Mojtaba Khamenei assumed Iran’s supreme leadership in early March 2026 after his father’s assassination in U.S.-Israeli strikes that opened the current conflict. He has issued no verified public appearances since, with U.S. intelligence assessing that he directs strategy from an undisclosed secure location inside the country while recovering from injuries sustained in the initial attacks. Recent written statements released through official channels, including May declarations on regional security and control of the Strait of Hormuz, reinforce internal continuity rather than any exit. Ongoing military tensions and regime efforts to project unified command have kept trader consensus on near-term departure extremely low, with scheduled resolution dates through June reflecting the absence of confirmed travel or relocation reports.
