BREAKING: Reports Claim U.S.–Israeli Forces Captured Sons of Iran’s Late Supreme Leader in Overnight Raid

Tehran —Unconfirmed reports circulating across regional security channels claim that the eldest sons of Iran’s late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, were captured during a coordinated overnight operation allegedly carried out by U.S. and Israeli special operations forces.

According to the unverified claims, Mojtaba Khamenei and his brother Mostafa Khamenei were taken into custody during a covert raid believed to have occurred hours after the strike that killed their father in Tehran.

The alleged operation follows a dramatic escalation in the Middle East after **U.S. and Israeli forces launched a series of strikes targeting senior Iranian leadership**, including the compound of Iran’s supreme leader.

Iranian authorities confirmed that Khamenei was killed during the attack, marking one of the most significant leadership losses in the Islamic Republic’s history.

Security analysts say any attempt to capture members of the Khamenei family would represent a significant shift from targeted strikes to direct ground operations inside Iranian territory, dramatically raising the stakes of the conflict.

However, no official confirmation of such a raid has been issued by Washington, Tel Aviv, or Tehran.

Several international news outlets have reported that Mojtaba Khamenei survived the strikes and may even play a role in Iran’s future leadership.

If confirmed, the capture of the supreme leader’s sons could have profound implications for Iran’s political future and the broader regional conflict, potentially providing leverage in negotiations or escalating tensions with Iran’s powerful security apparatus, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranian officials have not commented publicly on the reports.

The situation remains fluid as the region braces for possible retaliation and further military developments following the assassination of Iran’s long-time leader.
