Appointing a new leader is the least of Iran’s troubles
Regime lines up Khamenei’s son for the top job in a country reeling from the US-Israeli onslaught and virtually at war with its Gulf neighbours
The Assembly of Experts of Iran has settled on the son of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as its next supreme leader, his supporters claim, with the announcement delayed by a dispute over voting procedures.
If it is decided that the assembly does not have to meet in person to vote, its secretariat could simply declare that a consensus had been reached.
“The name of Khamenei will continue,†said Hosseinali Eshkevari, a member of the council tasked with electing a new leader. “The vote has been cast and will be announced soon.â€
Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader?
Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was killed in US-Israeli strikes, has been chosen as his successor.
Unlike his father, the 56-year-old has largely kept a low profile. He has never held government office, nor given public speeches or interviews, and only a limited number of photos and videos of him have ever been published.
But for years there have been rumours that he held considerable influence behind the scenes in Iran.
US diplomatic cables, which were published by WikiLeaks in the late 2000s, described him as "the power behind the robes" who was widely regarded as a "capable and forceful" figure within the regime, according to AP news agency.
