Mojtaba Khamenei Survives Iran Strikes, Future Leader Faces Peril
The article reports that Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly survived strikes on Iran and is considered by the establishment as the prospective next supreme leader. He is described as a mid-ranking cleric with close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and has long been viewed as a leading candidate to succeed his father. This development comes in the wake of the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following attacks by the United States and Israel, and a strike on the Assembly of Experts building in Qom, which was convened to choose a successor.
