Reports: Ayatollah Khamenei’s Son to Rise as Iran’s Next Supreme Leader
 
Simon Kent4 Mar 2026264
 
Mojtaba Khamenei, a son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is being tipped to rise up and assume leadership of the country despite the fact he’s never been elected or appointed to a government role.


Rather, the mid-level Shiite cleric will inherit the position purely through an accident of birth as his daddy’s good boy, as multiple outlets confirm.


AP reports the younger Khamenei has not been seen publicly since Saturday, when the Israeli airstrike targeting the supreme leader’s offices killed his 86-year-old father as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Khamenei has reportedly survived the strike and is seen by the establishment as firming to assume the role of next supreme leader, two Iranian sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Given what we've seen so far, I think if I were he, I'd be doing the chicken sh*t strut and decline the "honor." :yowsa:

Given what we have seen the last 4 days, I don't see a good chance to collect any kind of pension.

Really, mullahs, a nepo-baby is the best you can offer?

Maybe they are following the North Korean model.

Over/under of the length of his administration?

I'm placing the odds at 11 days.

Look at that forehead....   Looks as soft as a baby's behind.  Real Mullah's torture their prayer rugs. 

What a Poser......

That son might well set before he ever rises.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
