Modžtaba Hamnei
Modžtaba Hamnei, the second eldest son of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hamnei, has been appointed as the new Supreme Leader of Iran following his father's assassination in an Israeli airstrike. With deep roots in the country's security and military apparatus, Modžtaba previously led the notorious Basij militia, which played a significant role in suppressing anti-government protests in 2009. His appointment underscores a commitment to maintaining a hardline stance amid ongoing regional conflicts and signals to both domestic and international audiences that Iran's leadership will not seek moderation in its policies.
