DOJ Reportedly Probes U.S. Bank Transactions Tied to Mojtaba Khamenei

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly investigating how Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei built a global investment portfolio with exposure to Wall Street banks, according to a Bloomberg News report published Thursday, June 18, 2026. Bloomberg cited officials familiar with the matter. The Justice Department had not publicly commented on the reported investigation when Reuters published its account. Mojtaba Khamenei Transactions Under Reported DOJ Review The investigation is reportedly part of a broader examination of allegations involving money laundering and corruption. Investigators are reviewing transactions involving companies overseen by Khamenei and examining the role U.S. financial institutions may have played in processing them, according to the report. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup are among the banks reportedly under review. The report did not establish that either bank had violated U.S. law. JPMorgan, Citigroup and DOJ Responses Reuters said Citigroup declined to comment on the report. JPMorgan Chase and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment when the story was published. The existence of an investigation does not mean criminal charges will be filed. Bloomberg reported that Khamenei, rather than the banks, was the primary focus of the inquiry. Why the Report Matters As Iran’s supreme leader, Khamenei has final authority over major matters of state, including the country’s foreign policy and nuclear program. The reported investigation could attract further scrutiny of financial transactions connected to Iranian political networks and their potential exposure to U.S. institutions. However, the inquiry remains at the investigative stage. No charges or findings of wrongdoing were announced in the report.
