War Update: Amid War With Israel and US, Iran Names Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader

The large-scale conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has entered its 10th day, with intense missile strikes, air attacks, and retaliatory operations continuing on both sides. Despite heavy bombing and pressure, Iran has announced its new Supreme Leader. Following the death of Ali Khamenei, the country has selected his son Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader. After the announcement, celebrations were reported in several Iranian cities, with supporters taking to the streets and chanting slogans in support of the new leader. The decision was reportedly approved by the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for selecting Iran’s Supreme Leader. Experts believe the appointment aims to ensure leadership continuity during wartime and prevent internal power struggles. The powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is also believed to strongly support Mojtaba Khamenei, which has helped stabilize the leadership situation. Meanwhile, Israeli officials say the war could last a long time, while military strikes continue across the region. Analysts warn that the conflict could escalate further as both sides remain firm in their positions and refuse to back down.
