Speculation about the old geezer Khamenei’s health has been ongoing, sparking questions about potential successors. While discussions about succession remain taboo in Iranian political discourse, several names have been floated, with Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, emerging as a prominent figure believed to be groomed for the role.
Experts caution that such an appointment could trigger instability within the regime, given competing power dynamics. Even Democrats threw Biden under the bus and he is 4 years younger than Khamenei.
