Published 1 week ago
Description
Ali Khamenei was killed in US-Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, and the Assembly of Experts named his son Mojtaba Khamenei supreme leader on March 8, 2026. He has not been publicly seen since, with security concerns and injuries cited, August 2026 centralizing decrees have unconfirmed authorship, and the father-to-son succession remains controversial.
