The Assembly of Experts of Iran held an emergency meeting and selected Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of the country. This decision was made immediately to prevent a power vacuum following reports of the death of current leader Ali Khamenei. 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei has long been known as an influential figure in political and religious circles and has close ties with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
International media, particularly The Guardian, reports that this appointment marks the first time since the 1979 revolution that power has been transferred through a father-to-son succession. This situation is expected to spark various debates both in Iran's domestic politics and on the international stage. Reuters emphasizes that this decision was made against the backdrop of information that Ali Khamenei died as a result of AQSH and Isroil attacks.
In the current complex situation, the Iranian leadership faces serious challenges. It will become clear in the coming days how the new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will maintain stability within the country and what policies he will pursue under external pressure. Amidst regional military and political tensions, the actions of the new leader will become a key factor determining Iran's future.
