Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father as Iran’s supreme leader | BBC News
Iran’s Assembly of Experts has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei to replace his killed father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader, state media has reported.
Unlike his father, Mojtaba has largely kept a low profile – he has never held any government office, nor has he given public speeches or interviews.
