Who will lead the Islamic Republic next?
The death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has left Iran with a leadership vacuum, just as tensions in the region have risen sharply over its nuclear program, with the US and Israel carrying out joint airstrikes on key military and government targets. With the attacks on Iran and the departure of its top authority, the question is: Who will lead the Islamic Republic next?
Among the names that have received the most attention is Hassan Khomeini, the 53-year-old grandson of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the architect of modern Iran. Hassan has never held government office, but his family line makes up for this, and he is the frontrunner to become the heir.
