Ayatollah Khamenei's Health in Decline: Son Mojtaba Khamenei Expected to Succeed as Supreme Leader

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 85, is reportedly battling a severe health crisis, with unconfirmed rumors circulating that he may be in a coma. The situation has ignited intense speculation about his succession. 

While official sources remain tight-lipped, it is widely believed that Khamenei had quietly designated his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as his successor, despite resistance from some factions within the Assembly of Experts.

As concerns about the Supreme Leader’s health mount, the question of who will succeed him at the helm of Iran’s theocratic regime has become increasingly urgent. 

 

Mojtaba Khamenei, a senior figure within the country’s political elite, is said to have the backing of key powerbrokers, but opposition within the ruling establishment could complicate his path to leadership.
