Iran names Khamenei’s son as new Supreme Leader after father’s killing

Iranian state television has announced that the Assembly of Experts has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader.

Iran's ruling clerics on Sunday appointed the slain leader's son, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, as the country's new supreme leader, defying threats from the United States and Israel to oppose him. Nine days after US-Israeli strikes killed the elder Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and plunged the Middle East into war, the clerical government's Assembly of Experts convened to choose their next leader.

Mojtaba Khamenei will now be charged with leading Islamic Republic through the biggest crisis in its 47-year history.
