Iran elected Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader this Sunday (8). The appointment comes a week after his father was killed during the attack by the United States and Israel on the country.
Mojtaba was chosen by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, a body made up of 88 high-ranking elected clerics tasked with choosing the supreme leader.
Earlier this Sunday (8), Hosseinali Eshkevari, member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, had already stated that Khamenei’s name will remain as leader of Iran.
