Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been elected as his successor and the country’s new Supreme Leader. His name was announced by Iranian state TV early Monday.
This decision has come at a time when the ongoing war in the region has taken a new turn after the death of his father in an Israeli attack on February 28.
Mujtaba Khamenei had long been considered a leading contender for the post, although he has never held any elected or formal government office.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump has said that Iran should not elect a new Supreme Leader without him. On the other hand, Israel had threatened to eliminate Khamenei’s successor as well.
Ali Khamenei was in supreme power in Iran for 35 years.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli attack on February 28.
The Ayatollah had held the position of supreme leader of Iran since the death of Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. During the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, Khamenei played a major role in the revolution when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was ousted.
Khamenei was made president in 1981 after the Islamic Revolution. He remained in this post for 8 years. He was made the successor after the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khomeini in 1989. According to the report, Ayatollah is a title of religious leader.
According to Islamic law of Iran, it is necessary to be an Ayatollah to become the Supreme Leader. That means only a religious leader can get the post of Supreme Leader.
