Show Notes
Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, son of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, appointed as Irans new supreme leader. Despite lacking elected office experience, he built strong influence within security forces, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. His role expanded after the 2009 Green Revolution protests, coordinating a harsh crackdown. This move signifies Irans elite choosing steady leadership amid pressures, with the Revolutionary Guards military and economic clout set to endure. Mojtaba, married with two children, faces skepticism from President Trump, who once dismissed him as a lightweight.
