Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been named as Iran’s new Supreme Leader.
A cleric with significant influence behind the scenes, Mojtaba is known for his close connections to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
While he has never held a high-profile elected office, he has long been considered a potential successor within Iran’s inner circles of power.
Under Iran’s constitution, the Assembly of Experts is tasked with selecting the Supreme Leader. Mojtaba Khamenei’s appointment represents a major shift in the nation’s leadership at a time of heightened tensions across the Middle East.
