Iran has chosen the next Supreme Leader after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. It is known that the country’s three-member interim council has chosen Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei for the post. Although Tehran has not made an official announcement on this matter, the Iranian press has given this information citing Iran International sources.

America and Israel launched a deadly missile attack on Iran on Saturday morning. They described the attack as a precautionary attack. The main target of this attack was Ayatollah Khamenei. The attack targeted his office. The next day, Sunday, America and Israel announced that Khamenei had died in their operation. Later, Iran also officially announced the death. After Khamenei’s death, speculation began about his successor. There is a lot of discussion about who will take this responsibility. Of course, Khamenei’s second son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was on top of that list.

Currently, Mojtaba is in charge of Iran’s most elite force ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard’. He is also in the top position of the Shia Muslim organization.

According to sources, the three-member council was initially formed by Iranian President Masoud Pezheshkia to choose the Supreme Leader. In their hands was the interim responsibility of war-torn Iran. Alireza Arafi was the interim supreme leader. Finally, this committee sealed the name of Khamenei as the next supreme leader. According to Iranian media sources, currently undeclared Iran’s most elite force ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard’ is in charge of Mojtaba. He is also in the top position of the Shia Muslim organization.

Mojtaba has great influence over Iran’s top religious institutions, including the government. After the Ayatollah, 56-year-old Mojtaba has repeatedly emerged as the country’s second in command. After news of the Ayatollah’s illness spread last year, his name emerged as Iran’s next supreme leader. As expected, this time the special committee gave him the charge of managing the country.
