International Desk: After Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, there is speculation about who will take the post of Iran's highest religious leader. As Khamenei's health deteriorated, that speculation grew. Various media reports claim that Tehran has secretly begun the process of choosing its next leader. And Mojtaba Khamenei is the first in that race. Ayatollah Khamenei is likely to choose his second son as a successor!

Various reports are claiming that the 85-year-old Khamenei may step down before his death. While alive, he wants to see his son as the successor to the highest post in Iran. And Khamenei has kept the task of selecting this new leader in his own hands. On his instructions, a special council of 60 members sat in a meeting recently. A decision has been made about Mojatba there. There are different opinions for and against. However, in the end Mojtaba was chosen 'unanimously' as the next leader.

Why so much secrecy? According to many, Iran's internal situation is already not looking good in the face of conflict with Israel. In that situation, many people fear that if the name of the new leader is revealed, protests may start across the country. Because, all sides of Iran are not satisfied with Mojtaba of fifty-five years. He does not appear in public much. It is heard that for the last two years, he is secretly preparing himself as the highest leader of the country. However, some international relations experts say that he has considerable influence on Iranian politics even from behind.

Rumors about Mojtaba started after the death of former Iranian president and radical leader Ibrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. Raisi was known to be close to Supreme Leader Khamenei. After his death, Mojtbar was the first name in the race to become Iran's top leader. Currently, he looks after most of the work of Khamenei's office.
