“Mojtaba Khamenei Appointed Iran’s Supreme Leader After Father’s Death”
Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed as Iran’s new Supreme Leader following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei.
The transition is widely viewed as a dynastic handover of power, marking a historic and controversial moment in the Islamic Republic’s leadership structure.
For years, Mojtaba was regarded as a powerful behind-the-scenes figure within the regime. He was believed to wield significant influence over senior appointments in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), oversee sensitive intelligence operations, and manage his father’s inner circle.
His elevation to the top position formalizes the authority many analysts say he has long exercised discreetly.
