Iran’s Assembly of Experts has chosen Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as the third Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
He is the son of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei who was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike on his office in Tehran on February 28, the first day of the ongoing US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.
In a statement late Sunday, the Assembly of Experts said that immediately after the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and despite wartime conditions, enemy threats, and a bombing of the Assembly’s offices, it did not hesitate in selecting a new leader.
In line with its constitutional and internal duties, the Assembly swiftly took the necessary steps to convene an extraordinary session and appoint the successor, the statement added.
Following Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s assassination, a three-member temporary leadership council—including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei—led the country until a new leader was chosen.
The United States and Israel launched their ongoing war of aggression against Iran on February 28. In addition to killing top military commanders, their strikes have killed more than 1,300 civilians, hitting residential areas, schools, and hospitals across the country.
