Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is likely to take over the country's highest position following the death of his father in the US-Israeli military operation.

US intelligence documents, previously classified and later published by WikiLeaks, reveal that Mojtaba spent several months in the UK receiving private medical treatment for impotence.

Sources say these treatments, including multiple extended stays at London's Wellington and Cromwell hospitals, allowed him to father a son, whom Ali named after his grandfather. Family pressure is said to have played a major role in his decision to seek treatment abroad.

Despite personal health problems early in life, Mojtaba built a reputation as a smart employee within the Supreme Leader’s office. Intelligence reports describe him as someone who closely managed access to his father, traveled with him throughout Iran, and maintained strong ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, the documents also note that Mojtaba has no independent clerical authority and is unlikely to ever attain the status of ayatollah or mujtahid.

With the death of Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba is expected to become Supreme Leader and assume full command over Iran's military, judiciary, and major political decisions. His legacy is reportedly supported by the IRGC, despite ongoing concerns among clerics about the potential dangers of putting him in the spotlight during ongoing US-Israeli operations.
