There is news about Mojtaba Khamenei, considered the next supreme leader of Iran, that he has been injured in an Israeli air strike. According to the report, this attack took place during Israel's military operation Operation Lion's Roar, launched on February 28. At the same time, America also launched a military operation named Operation Epic Fury. In these joint attacks, Mojtaba Khamenei's father and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed.
About 40 other senior leaders of the Islamic Republic also lost their lives in this major attack. Mojtaba's wife Zahra Haddad Adel was also killed in the same attack. She belonged to a family that has long been associated with Iran's religious system of governance. However, it is not yet clear whether 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei was with his father in the same compound that was targeted in the airstrike, or whether he was targeted in a separate attack. It is also not clear how serious his injuries were.
According to the report of Times of Israel, he is currently in hiding because of the threat from America and Israel. iran But missile attacks are being carried out continuously. Mojtaba Khamenei is said to have the support of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). It is believed that this organization wants to see him become the next Supreme Leader of Iran in place of his father. However, some members of the Assembly of Experts, the body that elects the Supreme Leader in Iran, do not agree that power should be passed directly from father to son. There are a total of 88 members in this organization and these people choose the next Supreme Leader of the country.
According to the latest reports, a meeting of the Assembly of Experts has taken place, in which the new Supreme Leader has been elected. Two members of the assembly, Ayatollah Mohsen Haidari Alekassir and Ahmed Alamolhoda have given this information. However, the name has not been announced yet. This meeting took place online, because the building of this organization was recently destroyed in Israeli attacks. The person who becomes the new leader will also have control over a powerful military organization like the IRGC, which has played a major role in Iran's power for many decades.
Mojtaba Khamenei, like his father, is known for his strict conservative and anti-Western views. These ideas have been the hallmark of Iranian politics for a long time. Donald Trump has criticized the possibility of Mojtaba being made the supreme leader. He said that if this happens then the war will not end. Trump said, they are wasting their time. Khamenei's son is a weak leader. We need a person who can bring peace and balance to Iran.
