Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of Iran's previous Supreme Leader, has been appointed as the country's new highest spiritual authority. Little is publicly known about the younger Khamenei, who now assumes the most powerful position in Iran's theocratic system. The Supreme Leader serves as Iran's ultimate political and religious authority, with control over the military, judiciary, and foreign policy, making this transition significant for the Islamic Republic's future direction.
