Ali Khamenei's son Mojtaba Khamenei was dealing with 'impotency problem', and it was difficult for him to even find a wife, shocking reports by US intelligence has revealed. According to a secret US intelligence document, Mojtaba Khamenei, the leading candidate for the post of Supreme Leader of Iran and son of the former Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly underwent months of treatment in the UK for impotency.

Sources have stated that these treatments for impotency, included multiple extended stays at London's Wellington and Cromwell hospitals. It was only after undergoing these treatment procedures that he could father a son, named Ali after his grandfather. Family pressure reportedly played a major role in his decision to seek treatment abroad.

A WikiLeaks-released document sent by the state department to the US embassy in London in 2008 showed that the Mojtaba was under pressure from a family member to produce heirs, The Daily Mail reported.
