Mojtaba Khamenei’s appointment as Iran’s supreme leader is the kind of hereditary transition that his father once rejected.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of late Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, has been appointed to succeed his father as the new head of the Islamic Republic.

The younger Khamenei was named supreme leader by the top clerical body - the Assembly of Experts - in a statement published shortly after midnight on Monday (Mar 9) in Iran.

As l said they have to take this guy out. He’s a blood thirsty hard liner and having another Khamenei has the bad optic that nothing has changed.

"I thought a Mojtaba was a type of Cuban drink?"

Could he actually be Castro's son, and half-brother of Justin Trudeau?

The new Ayatollah (son of the old) is alive for now. But I’m guessing his expiration date is fast approaching.

Ali Khamenei had four sons.

We now know which one of them drew the short straw first.

One down shortly and then three more to go.

I’ve heard he’s worse than his father.

Now we know who to hit next.

Vanity Fair interviewer: “Do you think you were born to develop into greatness as destiny or is it because of events that greatness was thrust upon you?”

In a book on fiction writing a World War II short story was an example. The middle aged man moved his mattress, pillow and bed covers into a different room each night, including the kitchen and bathroom, fearing a bombardment and hoping he would survive as a moving target. Called “war nerves.”
