Philosopher on the Throne: Iran's Supreme Leader assassinated

Tehran has officially confirmed the death of Ali Khamenei

On March 5, US President Donald Trump said that the United States does not want Iran to be led by a leader like the murdered Ali Khamenei. The New York Times reported earlier in the day that Iran had postponed the appointment of a new supreme leader after Khamenei's death for security reasons. Mohsen Kumi, a member of the Presidium of the Council of Experts on the Leadership of Iran, noted on March 5 that the process of selecting a new supreme leader of the country is at the final stage.

The son of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei, Mojataba Khamenei, who was killed as a result of a military operation by the United States and Israel, has become the main candidate for his father's post. In turn, Trump declared the candidacy of Khamenei's son for the post of leader of Iran unacceptable.
