Iran's Mojtaba Khamenei Seen as More Pro-Nuclear Than Father, US Officials Say

US officials believe Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, may be more inclined toward developing nuclear weapons than his father. Mojtaba has not made any public statements supporting nuclear weaponization, but American intelligence assessments suggest otherwise. Iran's current hard-line leadership is also seen as potentially favoring weapons development. The concerns come amid broader tensions over Iran's nuclear program and its future direction under new leadership.
