Iran has officially confirmed the appointment of Mojtaba Ayatollah as the new Supreme Leader. Iran’s Assembly of Experts on Sunday unanimously elected Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Husseini Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This announcement was made after midnight, after which it was also announced by the Iranian media. America is furious over the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. President Trump has also given a big warning.
After the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the US-Israeli attack, his son Mojtaba Khamenei has been made the next Supreme Leader of Iran. The Assembly of Experts, consisting of 88 Shia clerics, appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the third supreme leader after a decisive vote. But America has been enraged by this decision of Iran. Expressing strong displeasure over this, President Trump said, ‘I am not happy with Iran electing Mojtaba Khamenei as its new Supreme Leader.’
What did Trump say on making Mojtaba Khamenei the Supreme Leader?
On the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei, US President Donald Trump said that Iran has elected its new Supreme Leader without US approval. Now we will see what happens next. I won’t let this continue for long either. Meanwhile, after Mojtaba became the Supreme Leader, Israel has also intensified its attacks on Iran. On Monday, the Israeli army targeted Iran’s Air Force headquarters. Iran also gave a befitting reply by attacking Israel. Once again the attacks from both sides seem to be intensifying.
America’s big warning to Iran
Let us tell you that even before this, when the name of Ali Khamenei’s son was being discussed, President Trump had clearly said that this decision of Iran will not be accepted. Trump had told the American media, “Iran has to get our approval before electing a Supreme Leader. If he doesn’t get our approval, he won’t last long. We want to make sure that we don’t have to go back every 10 years, which won’t happen when you don’t have a president like me.”
Big responsibility for Mojtaba Khamenei
Mojtaba Khamenei (56 years old) is the second eldest son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mojtaba never held any major government post, but was considered an influential figure in political circles. His strong ties with the military and paramilitary forces have been discussed. His name also came up during the protests in Iran in 2009. Some critics alleged that he played a role in tightly controlling the demonstrations. However, these allegations were not officially confirmed.
