The Exclusion of Mojtaba Khamenei: The Succession of Leadership is Serious
The Exclusion of Mojtaba Khamenei: The Succession of Leadership is Serious. In recent days, Fatemeh Hashemi has met with Mojtaba Khamenei. In this meeting, Mojtaba Khamenei told Ms. Hashemi that he has not visited the Supreme Leader’s office for four months and is not informed about the events, and he is in agreement with her criticisms.
Additionally, the Leader had a meeting with the members of the Assembly of Experts, where they presented a list of potential candidates for succession to the Leader. The Leader crossed out his son Mojtaba’s name and expressed his opposition, saying, ‘Go and choose any other person you want.’
Other names on the list included Hassan Khomeini, Amoli Larijani, Raisi, and Ahmad Khatami. However, it is highly likely that none of them are the main candidate. The serious candidate is someone accepted by all factions and military and security forces, meaning Ayatollah Ali Khomeini.
Saeed Aghanji, a journalist and owner of the Iran Gate news site, wrote about the influence within the IRGC intelligence some time ago and published a document regarding the Taeb circle, announcing that the weakening of Mojtaba’s position was due to the removal of Taeb.
