Iran's Assembly of Experts has named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran.
Public information shows that Mojtaba Khamenei was born in 1969 and is the second son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Ali Khamenei was killed in attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel on February 28. From 1978 to 1979, cleric Ruhollah Khomeini led the Iranian Islamic Revolution, overthrowing the Pahlavi dynasty. On April 1, 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran was established, implementing a theocratic system, with Khomeini serving as its first Supreme Leader. Khomeini died in 1989, and former President Khamenei succeeded him as Supreme Leader.
According to the Iranian constitution, the Supreme Leader has almost final decision-making power over all major affairs and serves as the Supreme Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces. The Iran's Assembly of Experts is the highest authority responsible for electing, supervising, and removing the Supreme Leader of Iran.
