Announcement of Iran's New Supreme Leader

New Delhi: The new Supreme Leader of Iran has finally been announced. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will take over the most powerful position in the country. Following the death of his father, Mojtaba has been declared the new Supreme Leader.

This announcement was made by Iran's state television. At 56 years old, Mojtaba is known to be a hardline cleric, similar to his father. The decision was made by an assembly of 88 clerics who cast decisive votes to select the new leader.

Ayatollah Khamenei passed away on February 28 due to an attack by US-Israeli forces. Following this, Israeli officials stated that Mojtaba, like his father, would also be targeted. Former President Donald Trump had previously dismissed Mojtaba, labeling him as a 'lightweight.'
