Khamenei's Son Designated as next Supreme Leader
[Ynet] Sources close to Tehran's regime claim Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei elected his second son for the role and may abdicate even before his death

The report claimed that 60 members of Iran's Assembly of Experts convened on September 26 in an exceptionally unusual meeting at the elder Khamenei's demand. They were instructed to decide on the succession immediately, without prior notice and under strict confidentiality.

Despite initial opposition to both the decision and the process, the assembly ultimately reached a unanimous agreement to designate Mojtaba as the successor following the leader's and his representatives' insistence, which allegedly included direct threats.

#9 Mojtaba’s selection has stirred concerns due to his lack of government experience and official roles. Over the past two years, however, he has been steadily positioned to take on a significant role in the regime’s inner workings, signaling a calculated effort by Ali Khamenei to ensure a smooth transfer of power.
