[Iran's New Leader Remains Low-Key, U.S. and Israeli Officials Struggle to Assess Internal Situation in Iran] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on March 21, during the Friday Nowruz festival, the CIA, Mossad, and other intelligence agencies around the world closely monitored whether Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba, would follow his father's tradition of delivering a New Year address. However, Mojtaba only issued a written statement, further deepening the mystery surrounding his health, whereabouts, and role in the ongoing conflict. Mojtaba's elusive behavior is not surprising. Since his father's assassination, Israel has made it clear that Mojtaba is now its primary target. U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth also claimed that Mojtaba was "injured and likely disfigured" in a previous attack. Yet, three weeks have passed, and Mojtaba has not even released a pre-recorded video statement, making his silence increasingly alarming. Intelligence gathered by the U.S. and Israel suggests that Mojtaba is still alive. For instance, there is evidence that Iranian officials have attempted to arrange meetings with him. A U.S. official stated that Trump's national security team is still working to determine who truly holds power in Tehran. A senior Israeli official claimed, "There is no evidence that Mojtaba is actually issuing orders." CIA Director Ratcliffe and Defense Intelligence Agency Director General James Adams testified that the Iranian regime is experiencing a severe command-and-control crisis, but there are no signs of an imminent collapse.
