Move could lead to escalation of war as Donald Trump has already called Mojtaba Khamenei an unacceptable choice
Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as his successor.
Members of the clerical body responsible for selecting Iran’s highest authority announced the decision on Sunday, calling on Iranians to rally behind him and preserve national unity.
In a statement carried by state media, the assembly said Khamenei had been chosen through what it described as a “decisive vote”.

The move could lead to a further escalation of the war, given Donald Trump had already acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei was the most likely successor and made clear he considered such an outcome unacceptable.
