Iran’s leadership transition is under the global spotlight and a newly released video is only adding to the uncertainty. State broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) has published a brief, undated clip showing Mojtaba Khamenei teaching religious students. But with no timestamp, location confirmation, or context, the footage has sparked more questions than answers. The video arrives at a sensitive moment following reports surrounding the death of Ali Khamenei and the presumed rise of Mojtaba to Iran’s highest position of power. Despite the claim, Mojtaba has remained largely absent from public view, fueling speculation over his health, condition, and even whereabouts.

 A massive fire erupted near Dubai International Airport after a suspected drone strike hit a fuel tank in the vicinity of DXB, forcing the temporary suspension of flight operations at one of the world's busiest airports. Civil defence teams rushed to the scene and battled the blaze for nearly two hours before bringing the fire under control. Air defence alarms sounded across parts of Dubai as the UAE intercepted missiles and drones launched amid the escalating US–Israel–Iran conflict.
