The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel's Mossad intelligence service are said to be trying to determine the whereabouts of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Zamon.uz reported this, citing foreign sources.
According to the publication, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public for more than 150 days and has not used phones or other electronic communication devices.
According to sources, he may be in a high-security bunker and communicating with the outside world only through intermediaries.
According to Rami Igra, a former senior Mossad official, Israeli intelligence is using its agent network in Iran to determine Mojtaba Khamenei's location. In his opinion, even without electronic communication, the couriers and intermediaries involved in contacting the leadership are under surveillance.
At the same time, analysts do not rule out that Mojtaba Khamenei's long absence from the public eye may be related to the growing influence of certain groups within Iran's leadership.
