Tel Aviv, March 19 (TASS) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Thursday that the current leadership structure of Iran is "unclear" following a series of precision missile attacks that killed several prominent clerics and leaders during the war. High-ranking Iranian official Ali Larijani and other senior leaders died in attacks this week, reducing the number of regime officials still alive. It is believed that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader and son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was injured in the attack that killed his father at the beginning of the war. "The substitute ayatollah, Mojtaba, has not been seen," Netanyahu told reporters during a press conference Thursday evening, referring to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, CBS News reported and learned from Noticias Argentinas. "Have you seen him? We haven't, and we cannot guarantee what is happening there." "There is great uncertainty regarding this," Netanyahu added. He also speculated that the new Supreme Leader would not have the same influence as his father. "I believe that the authority and control that Khamenei exercised will not be transferred to anyone," Netanyahu said. "Not to Mojtaba, if he is still there, or to anyone else."
