Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of experts, Iranian International reported Tuesday.
Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.
Say what you want about the man, he has no fucks left to give
Bring back the Islamic Kingdom of Iran
FTFY: Ayatollah Khamenei’s oldest son elected as
supreme leadernext targetEw. Nypost
Yeah that’s my reaction when I noticed… oddly just when I read your comment. Fuck Murdoch’s publications.
Thank you for helping me see it.
I want to add, sometimes there are good (or semi accurate) articles but having to do the checks on their reporting sucks balls and not in the fun way.

So all we have managed to accomplish in the last week of bombing Iran is kill a bunch of civilians and get the younger but just as hard line version Ayatollah Khamenei?
Excellent, very good.
It was a knee-jerk response to the Trump-Epstein files scandal…I mean…uhh…I meant to say…they’ve been planning this for months.
We also managed to take out a vast amount of ballistic missiles, their launchers, air defense, aircraft, boats and regime related infrastructure and the whole top 40 in the chain of command.
It’s the NY Post. Might as well be a roll of cheap Scott toilet tissue. You know, the kind of paper that scratches your ass up
The NY post is fantastic at its job, which is to disseminate disinformation with an occasional “factoid” thrown in for cheap laughs

“Elected”?
Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.
– Terry Pratchett, Mort
A great many authoritarian systems throughout history, especially in the ancient world, have had a selection system that formalises compromise between the major power brokers to prevent the whole group being made easy pickings to outsiders by succession struggles.
Primogeniture is not the default because the oldest son often sucks.
The electors here are influential clergy members and high ranking military officials.
The assembly of experts choosing the next leader is staffed by only clerics, no military personnel.
So same shit, different pile?
Indeed, same thing with the Krasnov.
Hm no kinda worse because now they have a clear reason for nuclear weapons
And someone in leadership who isn’t about to die of natural causes.
I am surprised people responding to this piece of news to be valid information when Iran would make this public when they choose the next leader.
that’s an odd choice considering the iranian revolutions ideology is founded on anti hereditary succession
i think it’s a mistake for them
The US is probably tracking his bowel movements already. I give him a week
The United States of Israel wanted to change the regime to a monarchy, no? Well, mission accomplished, now they can fuck off.
Color me shocked.
If we had any missiles left, he’d be a dead man.
It’s the US and israel, I highly doubt they’ll ever run out of missiles
I don’t want to play the game of finding out
