Reports say Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s late supreme leader, may be chosen as the country’s next leader. If true, it would look like a move toward dynastic power in a system that was created to reject monarchy.
Mojtaba has long been seen as a powerful behind-the-scenes figure with close ties to the Revolutionary Guard. But his possible rise raises serious questions, since Iran’s system was never meant to pass leadership from father to son.
Some inside the regime may see him as a way to keep stability. But many Iranians, especially those who suffered under his father’s rule, may see it as the start of another difficult chapter.
