Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of experts, Iranian International reported Tuesday.
Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.
Is that the regime change Trump and Netanyahoo wanted?
Just when you think the orange was the worst…this guy tops them all…
The new psycho moron, has likely already toured the old one in worldwide deaths.
Between Covid mishandling and doge cuts he’s on his way past millions needlessly dying.
Trump just wants to have his own Zero Dark Thirty moment.

Is the USA tired of winning yet? The rest of us would like to resume life as normal please.

It was a knee-jerk response to the Trump-Epstein files scandal…I mean…uhh…I meant to say…they’ve been planning this for months.
We also managed to take out a vast amount of ballistic missiles, their launchers, air defense, aircraft, boats and regime related infrastructure and the whole top 40 in the chain of command.

So the orange likes to get young blood into power for longevity of his ideas…I’m guessing this was his plan all along? I would also imagine if Russia weren’t preoccupied with Zelensky, he’d be all over this?
that’s an odd choice considering the iranian revolutions ideology is founded on anti hereditary succession
i think it’s a mistake for them
The US is probably tracking his bowel movements already. I give him a week
I am surprised people responding to this piece of news to be valid information when Iran would make this public when they choose the next leader.
Incoming bombs on the new surpreme leader in 5…4…3…

Primogeniture is not the default because the oldest son often sucks.
The electors here are influential clergy members and high ranking military officials.
If only Hollywood Nepotism was this high stakes. Imagine? Arnold Schwarzenegger has died. Now up is his son Patrick from White Lotus who is now on a kill list!
