Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did not want his son Mojtaba Khamenei to become the supreme leader of Iran, his will reveal shocking truth.
According to Times of India, the late supreme leader was against the idea of his son Mojtaba succeeding him due to multiple reasons.
The New York Post report claimed that Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike on February 28, clearly opposed Mojtaba’s succession.
Khosro Isfahani, a journalist and the Research Director of the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), told The Post, "In Khamenei's will, he explicitly asked Mojtaba not to be named as successor," adding that the late supreme leader believed that his son lacked the capability and political experience to run Iran.
“Mojtaba is an impotent young cleric who has achieved nothing in terms of political life. All these years, he has been nothing without his father’s name," the anti-regime journalist said.
The American outlet claimed that the Assembly of Experts also did not want Mojtaba as the leader of the country, which is in a state of war with Israel and America, but the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ultimately pushed his name for the position.
Isfahani stated, “The Assembly of Experts that was supposed to pick the replacement of Khamenei didn’t vote for Mojtaba. The Assembly of Experts that was supposed to pick the replacement of Khamenei didn’t vote for Mojtaba.”
The 44-year-old, who reportedly has close relations with the IRGC, was selected as the supreme leader of the country after Khamenei's death in an Israeli strike on February 28. The same strike killed his mother, sister, and wife, too.
Mojtaba has not made any public appearance since his appointment and was reportedly injured in the ongoing conflict in the country.
