A LEADING Iranian power player—and heir apparent to the Supreme Leadership—narrowly cheated death after stepping into a yard seconds before a U.S. missile flattened his location.
Dramatic leaked recordings have revealed that Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the shadowy son of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, survived a precision strike purely by “divine will.”
The audio, obtained by The Telegraph, suggests that Mojtaba was the intended target of a high-stakes U.S. operation aimed at the very heart of the Iranian regime.
According to the recording, Mojtaba had been inside the targeted building when he stepped out into the courtyard for a brief moment.
”It was divine will that Mojtaba had to step outside to the yard for something and then come back,” the source in the recording claims. “While he was outside and going up the stairs, the building was hit by a missile.”
The split-second timing meant the younger Khamenei was shielded by the structure’s exterior or was far enough from the blast radius to survive, while the building itself was reduced to rubble.
Mojtaba Khamenei has long been whispered to be the real power behind the throne in Tehran. Unlike his father, he rarely appears in public, preferring to pull the strings of the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) from the darkness.
The Heir: He is widely considered the frontrunner to succeed his 86-year-old father as Supreme Leader.
The Hardliner: Known for his uncompromising stance against the West, he is a figure of intense interest for Western intelligence agencies.
The Target: This strike confirms that the U.S. views him not just as a political figure, but as a legitimate military target in the ongoing shadow war.
The revelation of the “near miss” is expected to send shockwaves through the Middle East. For the regime, it will be framed as a “miracle” proving Mojtaba’s spiritual legitimacy to lead. For the West, it highlights just how close they came to decapitating the next generation of Iranian leadership.
Tehran has yet to officially comment on the leak, but security around the Supreme Leader’s inner circle is reportedly being tightened to unprecedented levels.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. has reached into the heart of the IRGC. Since the 2020 drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, the U.S. has increasingly targeted high-ranking Iranian officials involved in regional destabilization.
If Mojtaba had been killed, it would have triggered a massive succession crisis in Iran, potentially destabilizing the regime more than any sanctions ever could. For now, the “Shadow Prince” remains in play—all because of a timely walk to the yard.
