Iran is reportedly delaying naming a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader killed over the weekend in U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, for security concerns as Israel has asserted that it will target whoever is instated, while President Donald Trump has doubled down on wanting to influence the selection.
The New York Times reported, citing two unnamed Iranian officials, that while Khamenei’s second-eldest son, 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, has emerged as the strongest contender to take Tehran’s top job, no one has been named out of fear that they will be targeted.

“...out of fear they will be targeted.” Yah think?
There are likely plenty of good executive search firms in Tehran that can help .
Trump: I want an unconditional surrender.
Iran: We hear you. You’re interested in providing some input.
Trump: I want an unconditional surrender.
Iran: Okay. Okay. You want some degree of influence.
Trump: I insist on an unconditional surrender.
Iran: Gotcha. You want some influence.
Trump: I insist on influence and I demand an unconditional surrender.
Iran: Right. Right. We’ll take that under consideration as we discuss things.
LOL, ,yep considering what’s going on, nobody wants the job.....
In the spirit of DEI, I hereby nominate Ilhan Omar to be Iran’s next supreme leader.
“Iran is reportedly delaying naming a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei” until they can find a place that bombs cannot destroy.
Yes, then we can jdam her.
+1
“In the spirit of DEI, I hereby nominate Ilhan Omar to be Iran’s next supreme leader.”
I second that motion.
Iran is so afraid of Trump that they can’t even identify a successor.
The Democrats: “The Iran policy is a failure.”
Has the US ever recognized the current regime as the legitimate government of Iran? If not, why even negotiate with them?
Ooh! It reads like an international geopolitical thriller. Can’t wait for the next installment in the series. 👍👍
It’ll be behind closed doors....as soon as they get to “The Cave”.
hell, anyone who can unconditionally surrender, and make it stick, will do
as a “negotiation” partner
The next conversation goes like this..
Iran: Kaboom
Trump: They didn’t surrender. They tried to play it too cute. Now they’re dead.
There is NO Negotiating with Terrorists. Trump gets this better than most and our stupid democrats are out there spouting nonsense and stupid nothings while he and his team are tirelessly working to make America and the world Safer. (MASA)
My thought exactly. Who would want the job? Who is really that fanatic?
