Defiant Iran hardliners rejoiced this morning as Ali Khamenei's son was named the new Supreme Leader - while vowing to increase missile attacks on infrastructure.
Mojtaba Khamenei, excluded from a list of three senior clerics his father reportedly identified last year, was on Sunday announced as the Ayatollah's successor after being appointed by the regime's 88-person assembly.
The leader has strong links to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and was chosen by Iran's Assembly of Experts 'under pressure from the Revolutionary Guards', according to Iranian media.
And the 56-year-old Khamenei's potential impact on the escalating conflict in the Middle East was laid bare in the moments after his succession was confirmed, with videos showing regime supporters chanting his name and urging more strikes.
Large crowds in Tehran waved Iranian flags and shouted, 'Allahu Akbar, Khamenei Rahbar', meaning: 'God is great, Khamenei is the leader.'
More ominous still, the Iranian military vowed to respond to any Israeli attacks on the country's energy infrastructure by striking oil sites across the region - after Israel targeted reserves the night before.
'The governments of Islamic countries are expected to warn the criminal America and the savage Zionist regime of such cowardly, inhumane actions as soon as possible,' Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for Iran's central military command told state TV.
'Otherwise, similar measures will be taken in the region, and if you can tolerate oil at more than $200 per barrel, continue this game.'

“DEATH CULT”.
Good luck increasing missile attacks with piles of ash and twisted metal. Because that’s what most of your launch sites look like. Islamic hyperbole is pathetic.

How long will it take Israel to off the guy?
Seems like we missed a target rich opportunity.
Probably not long, but the problem is there is always another “Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler” in the ‘on deck cicle’.
He may be dead by morning.
I’m getting the idea that the Iranian people are NOT going to take back the country.
This will not end well for Iran.
“Cry havoc, and let slip the BUFFs !
Without guns, I don’t think the general population can count on the government being overthrown by majority vote in the IRGC.
It’s up to them. The goal is to make it so that Iran can never make war again
I have noticed that no matter how many Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthie and Iranian leaders are wiped out, it seems like a hundred more scum bags are waiting in the wings, to take over. It’s like playing whack a mole.
I’m putting my money on, by Friday.
Yes MSM likes it, Wolf Blitzer and Christian Amanpour are probably ululating on CNN.
Time to turn the lights out in Tehran. Wipe out these dirty bearded Nazis.
You’ve got to figure that there have got to be hundreds of thousands in the Iranian military whose fate and well-being are tied to the continuity of the state.
The idea that we can uproot the Islamic terrorist regime without boots on the ground is ridiculous. And I can assure you that the American people have zero appetite for yet another Middle Eastern ground war.
President Trump saying the war has already been won (as he did on Friday) was wildly off the mark.
Shoot, that reads like a BEE headline. I expected to see rejoicing followed by total devastation.
They’re propably tickling each others uvulas.
“if you can tolerate oil at more than $200 per barrel, continue this game.”
**************************
That’s likely where it’s heading now that they’re talking about putting boots on the ground over there. So much for Trump being the peace president. The worse decision Trump could have made was going to war with Iran. What’s going to happen when we run out of missile interceptors in a few weeks?
