Intrigue, power games and rivalries/ How Mojtaba Khamenei became the successor

Mojtaba Khamenei became a central figure in one of the most sensitive transitions of power in Iran, positioning himself as the potential successor to his father, Ali Khamenei.

After the weakening and death of the supreme leader, the responsibility for choosing a successor falls on the Assembly of Experts. 

The process was not fully transparent. Decisions were made quickly due to the tense situation in the country and the region.

Mojtaba has been an influential figure behind the scenes for years and has strong ties to the Revolutionary Guard, while building a network of support among religious and military elites.

He did not have a very large public role, but his real influence was considered significant.

Some see the election as a "family" transfer of power, while this contradicts the spirit of the Iranian Revolution, which was against the monarchy.

The events take place at a very tense time, with conflicts in the Middle East and indirect clashes with the US and Israel. This situation made the transition of power even more urgent and complicated.

According to analysts, the real power in Iran does not lie solely with the supreme leader, as the military and security structures, especially the IRGC, have great influence and the choice of Mojtaba is expected to play an important role./ The New York Times.
