Amid the growing tension between Iran and Israel, a major change can be seen in Iran's politics. According to reports, Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei has gone into a coma and is 'seriously ill'. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has surprised the whole world by suddenly choosing his son as his successor. Khamenei has handed over his throne to his son Mojtaba. However, this has not been officially confirmed by Iran yet.
Let us tell you that this has come to light in a report by Iran International. It is being claimed that officials elected Khamenei's successor during a secret meeting last month.
Khamenei held a meeting with Mojtaba Amani
A photo has been posted on Khamenei's x account. In the photo, he is seen talking to Iran's ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani in his office. It is written in Persian, “Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei met this afternoon with the veteran ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani and talked with him on the sidelines of daily meetings.”
Who is Mojtaba?
Mojtaba Khamenei is the second and youngest son of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He has participated in the Iran-Iraq War from 1987 to 1988. Mojtaba was born in Mashhad in 1969. He studied theology after graduation. After this, he studied in Qom to become a cleric in 1999. He is an expert in Islamic affairs like his father.
Amani was among nearly 3,000 people injured in September when a pager and walkie-talkie used by the Iran-backed Hezbollah group exploded in Lebanon. At least 39 people were also killed in the attack, which Iran and Hezbollah blamed on Israel.
Khamenei's big statement about Israel
An official statement said that Amani submitted his latest health status report to him. Last month, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered his first sermon in five years after Iran launched 180 missiles targeting vital infrastructure in Israel. He said that Israel "will not last long" as he supported the Palestinian and Lebanese movements against Israel in his statement on October 5.
Addressing thousands of supporters at a mosque in Tehran, Khamenei justified his missile attacks on Israel as a "public service." Holding a gun as he spoke, the Iranian leader declared that Israel would not win against Hamas or Hezbollah.
