Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has reportedly been appointed as Iran’s new Supreme Leader following his father’s death.
The decision is believed to have been made by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the powerful clerical body responsible for selecting the country’s highest authority. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, has long been considered an influential figure within Iran’s political establishment and is known to have close ties with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
