The eldest son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, an Iranian politician and cleric, was chosen as the future Supreme Leader of Iran under pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to Iran International.
The selection of a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is explicitly defined in the Iranian Constitution and is the responsibility of the Assembly of Experts, the same body that elevated him to the leadership position in 1989.
According to the Constitution, the successor to the Supreme Leader must be elected by the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership.
Meanwhile, the Constitution stipulates that the duties of the Supreme Leader are temporarily assumed by a three-member body composed of the country’s president, the head of the judiciary, and a clerical member of the powerful Guardian Council.
The activation of this process is considered essential to preserving the institutional continuity of the state until a new Supreme Leader is selected.
