Axios: Mystery Surrounds Mojtaba Khamenei – CIA and Mossad Seek Traces

The absence of public appearances by Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of Iran, has caused concern and mobilization of international intelligence agencies, such as the CIA and Mossad. Instead of the traditional New Year's speech, only a written announcement was released. There are fears of possible injury in an attack, while analysts estimate that he may face restrictions in exercising his duties due to security concerns. The power structure in Iran appears to be at a critical stage, with the Revolutionary Guards strengthening their role.
