Introduction. The Iranian regime's appointment of new Supreme Leader Mojtaba the son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in March 2026, under pressure from the IRGC with which he has been closely affiliated for years, marks the triumph of the radical messianic-apocalyptic stream in the Iranian establishment.
This ideology, led by figures such as Ayatollah Mahdi Mirbagheri, and before that by Ayatollah Taqi MohammadMesbah Yazdi (d. 2021) as well as by politicians from the Front of Islamic Revolution Stabil ty (FIRS, Jebhe-ye Paydari) and younger,generation IRGC officers, views seizing power as a means and an operational stage in advancing the coming of the Mahdi, the Twelfth Hidden Imam and the Shi'ite Messiah[sic].
At the core of this view is a militant interpretation of the historic 680 CE Battle of Karbala in Iraq, in which thefollowers of Ali ibn Abi Talib were defeated and massacred by the Sunni commander Yazid ibn Muawiya. According to this world view, Iran's current struggle against the Sunni Arab states is seen as continuation of thestruggle against the Sunni "usurpers " and their allies in the West, that is, the U.S. and Israel.
The Battle of Karbala, the founding myth of Shi'a Islam, is not just an historical event for the radical apocalyptic stream in Iran - it is a real-time work plan for taking control of the Islamic world. For them, Mojtaba Khamenei's taking power is not simply the dynastic continuity of a family that is worthy of leadership, but the rectification of an historic wrong that will restore sovereignty to the legitimate descendants of the .. Mohammad and avenge the Shi'te imams who were killed at Karbala. Mojtaba's ascent is considered by them as the moment when these legitimate descendants return to lead not just Iran but the entire Islamic ummah, displacing the Sunni leadership that they perceive to be the "modern Yazid." This is in effect a revival of the historic struggle for power between the Sunni and the Shi'a.
Mojtaba Khamenei's rise marks Iran's transition from a country run according to relatively pragmatic geopolitical considerations to one controlled by a apocalyptic theocratic military apparatus. In such a situation, the enemy is religiously defined and the struggle is not only against Israel or the U.S. "(the Great Satan" and "'the Little Satan"), but against any entity perceived as a "modern Yazid" - that is, direct confrontation with the Sunni world.
This radical-apocalyptic stream perceives military conflict as a test of faith, in which casualties among Muslim soldiers or civilians are considered martyrdom in the path of Imam Hussein at Karbala. According to it, any military victory over the Sunni states and Israel proves the justness of the cause and of Shi'a belief, and war is the only way Islam can be purged of Western and Sunni-Wahhabi influence and the world can be prepared for the Mahdi's comprehensive Islamic rule.
Under Mojtaba's leadership, Iran is positioning itself as the "'beating heart" of a religious empire that aspires to transform Shi'a Islam from a persecuted minority into the only prevailing religious and political current in the Muslim world (see below the 2016 MEMRI report on the 'Umm al-Qura Doctrine. 'V)

Iran had plans of taking over the entire Middle East, and completely obliterating Israel. JUST LIKE IRAN ITSELF, THOSE PLANS ARE NOW DEAD! President DONALD J. TRUMP .

I don’t think it matters if he’s on a respirator. 🙄
I think I may have spotted the Mahdi at a nearby Seven-Eleven store. But he quickly ducked into a back room/office out of sight before I could grab a quick picture of him. /sarc
As a persecuted minority the Shi’ites sure have killed a lot of people. Usually it’s the other way around.
CC
How about they add his head and other limbs to the “missing” list?
😅
MEMRI is great. They follow what they say in their own language to each other.
It’s Genius to have a dead guy as the fearless leader.
He can’t be assassinated.
Is this “Mahdi” the same figure as the 12th Imam, which I believe ISIS is waiting for?
They also want to destroy the world so he can return, but they’re Sunni Muslims.
So hard to keep track of all this nonsense.
All I know is that they all represent a grave danger to civilization, and since they can’t be totally eradicated, they need to be contained. Whatever it takes.
Just don't leave him out in the rain. He might get soggy wet and even contract a bad case of mildew.
The shi-ites have been trying to take over the world for a thousand years.
Here is one of their propaganda films.

This is a battle between YHWH and the demon Allah, a battle for world ascendancy.
We must fight it and win.

Isn’t Mahdi the guy Doc Emmet Brown was trying to get back to the future?
LOL
Both are evil. Radical Islam: Shiite or Sunni.
ISIS is (mostly) Sunni
Some Seven-Eleven vendors are Indians (AKA Non-Muslim Hindu like Ghandi, India’s PM and Usha Chilukuri Vance).
Others are Pakistani - AKA Muslim..
The psycho-regime of the mullahs isn’t a theocracy.
It’s a damn death cult. A death cult that believes blowing themselves and everybody else up is their gateway to their cult “heaven.” How perverted!
They’re all psychopathological and would certainly use a nuke if they had one to destroy the US, Israel and everyone else.
