Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of experts, Iranian International reported Tuesday.
Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.



America and Israel’s attack almost certainly snuffed out the rebellion in Iran, especially after they bombed a school full of children.
People aren’t going to overthrow the local authorities when a foreign country unilaterally decides to attack their country and even targets their children.
I expect this had the exact opposite effect of what the Trump administration claimed to desire.
Then again, I seriously doubt that the real objective of the Pedo War was ever related to Iran itself.
I’ve seen some reporting that claims the US and Israel is bombing leftist opposition in Iran. And arming Kurdish militants. Seems like they just want Iran completely destabilized.
Yeah, no. Russia really needed gas and oil to be much more expensive globally. That Ukraine war is costly. Also the Trump/Epstein files. Also Israel.
Russia is actively giving military aid to Iran and vice versa, what are you talking about?
Because Iran is targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz it brings the global price of oil up and drives demand for Russian oil. Yes, Russia supports Iran, but this war is a win for Russian interests. It erodes the international order, stamps out rebellion in Iran, boosts oil profitability, reinforces their stance that the neoliberal world order is a threat, and weakens America.
Plus, they won’t directly intervene cause of their non-aggression pact with Israel (Israel doesn’t arm Ukraine, Russian oligarchs vacation in Israel)
