Sun Nov 17 14:13:06 UTC 2024: ## Khamenei’s Son Secretly Named as Iran’s Next Supreme Leader: Report
**Tel Aviv, Israel – November 17, 2024** – A bombshell report from Israeli news source Ynetnews, citing the Iranian exile outlet Iran International, claims that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s ailing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been secretly chosen as his successor.
According to the report, a clandestine meeting of the Assembly of Experts, Iran’s body responsible for selecting the Supreme Leader, took place on September 26th. Sixty members allegedly attended the meeting, where Mojtaba Khamenei was selected under pressure from Ayatollah Khamenei and his associates. The process is described as undemocratic, with members reportedly threatened into silence and warned against revealing the meeting’s outcome for a month.
While Mojtaba Khamenei holds a religious degree and has been involved in his father’s inner circle for the past two years, he reportedly lacks significant experience in governance or official roles. His selection has raised concerns about a potential power vacuum and the implications for Iran’s future. The report highlights the secretive nature of the decision-making process and the potential for instability within the Iranian political system. The lack of transparency surrounding the selection underscores concerns about the future direction of Iran under a potentially inexperienced leader.
