There are claims circulating in some media outlets that Seyed Majid Ebn Al-Reza died just one day after his appointment, allegedly as a result of military attacks linked to the ongoing conflict between Israel, Iran, and the United States.

- Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday appointed Seyed Majid Ebn Al-Reza as the caretaker of the country's Defense Ministry following the death of the previous Defense Minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh, who was killed in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in late February 2026.
Claim
There are claims circulating in some media outlets that Seyed Majid Ebn Al-Reza died just one day after his appointment, allegedly as a result of military attacks linked to the ongoing conflict between Israel, Iran, and the United States.
Verdict: Unconfirmed
As of now, despite the ongoing hostilities, no reputable international media organizations have reported the death of the official in question.
Furthermore, there has been no official confirmation from authorities in either the United States or Israel. Historically, when high-ranking officials are killed during wartime, governments typically follow established protocols to formally announce such developments.
In addition, major Iranian state media outlets have not issued any official statement confirming the reported death.
It is therefore likely that the circulating claims stem from confusion or misinformation — possibly a mix-up involving reports about the previous minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh, and the appointment of his successor.
