Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Named Iran’s New Supreme Leader
Iran has officially named Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader. The 56-year-old cleric takes control amid ongoing attacks by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Israel and Gulf Arab nations.
Mojtaba’s appointment consolidates hard-line control in Tehran, giving him influence over military strategy during the regional conflict. Iran’s tightening grip on the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted oil shipping and sent Brent crude prices soaring above $114 per barrel.
President Donald Trump downplayed the spike in oil prices, calling it temporary, even as fears grow of further Iranian attacks on regional energy facilities.
