Amid the Iran war and the controversial resignation of US Counter-terrorism chief Joe Kent, top US intelligence officials testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, warning of rapidly growing global threats to American national security. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed that countries including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan are advancing missile systems capable of striking the United States. The report highlighted a dramatic surge in missile threats, with projections increasing from 3000 in 2025 to 16000 by 2035, raising serious concerns about homeland defense. The hearing also pointed to deepening alliances between North Korea, Russia and China, as well as ongoing threats from terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda

According to intelligence inputs cited by CNN-News18, Mojtaba Khamenei is believed to be alive but gravely wounded following the February 28 US-Israel strikes that reportedly killed his father. Sources claim the injured cleric is now under extremely tight security, with his movement restricted and all communication being closely monitored and filtered by the IRGC. Reports further suggest that the IRGC has assumed complete control over the messaging attributed to Mojtaba, carefully managing any public statements in order to maintain stability inside Iran’s political system. Adding to the intrigue, intelligence chatter indicates that Mojtaba may have been secretly transported to Moscow for emergency medical treatment, possibly undergoing surgery aboard a Russian military aircraft before being moved to a high-security hospital inside the presidential palace complex.
