Iran Expert Meeting to Officially Announce Khamenei's Son as Supreme Leader

BlockBeats News, March 5th, according to Iranian international media reports, Iran's Assembly of Experts will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to formally announce Mujtaba (the late Supreme Leader Khamenei's son) as the new Supreme Leader.

However, at least eight members are considering boycotting the vote, believing that appointing Khamenei's son could give the impression of dynastic rule and raise questions about the religious legitimacy. The last emergency meeting was interrupted before the final vote count was determined due to an Israeli airstrike on the meeting venue. Due to ongoing security concerns, the next meeting is expected to be held online at a secret location. (Jinse)
