Ammon News - Iranian sources tell Reuters that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Iranian supreme leader, has survived the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran.

Mojtaba Khamenei is one of the most influential figures in the Iranian clerical establishment, and among the figures seen as a candidate to succeed him as leader of the Islamic Republic, according to Reuetrs.

A mid-ranking cleric who studied under religious conservatives in the seminaries of Qom, Mojtaba is a hardliner with close ties to the Revolutionary Guards.
