JAKARTA - Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei who was killed in the attack by the United States and Israel last weekend, is reportedly a strong candidate for the new Supreme Leader of Iran.
Religious figures and clerics responsible for choosing Iran's new Supreme Leader have held consultations on Tuesday, March 3.
In the meeting, it was known that Mojtaba Khamenei emerged as a strong candidate to replace his father, according to a report by The New York Times citing Iranian officials as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, March 4.
The possibility of appointing Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran is still under consideration until Wednesday morning.
However, concerns have also emerged that if Mojtaba Khamenei is truly designated as Iran's Supreme Leader, he will be the target of US and Israeli attacks, The New York Times reported.
The United States and Israel on Saturday (28/2) launched a joint attack on Iran, including the capital Tehran, causing infrastructure damage and casualties, including killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran then retaliated with military action by launching drone and missile attacks on Israel and US assets in several Gulf countries.
