Khamenei’s Representative Paved Way for His Son to Succeed as Supreme Leader<\/h3>\n

On September 3, a video was posted<\/a> online that showed Mehdi Tajzadeh, the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader’s representative in Baharestan, Isfahan province, conducting a speech and paving the way for Khamenei’s son to become the next Supreme Leader.<\/p>\n

Tajzadeh said: “If the Assembly of Experts chooses the son of the Supreme Leader as the future leader, is this a hereditary rule? The law does not state that the offspring of the leader must become the next leader, but is there any prohibition against it if such a thing happens? Is there a prohibition in the law? No way. The criteria mentioned for the selection of a leader suggest that he must be a jurist, he must be a guardian, he must be knowledgeable, he must be against greed, and so on. Now, if the Assembly of Experts assumes these qualifications are perceptible in the son of the Supreme Leader and if Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, for example… what’s then the holdup?”<\/p>\n

As the clerical rulers have hijacked a popular revolution that toppled the monarchial hereditary rule in 1979, Ali Khamenei is facing an uphill battle to legitimize his ambitions to install his own son Mojtaba as his successor. But some recent developments are indicating he is moving in that direction.<\/p>\n

“We are satisfied with the strengthening of special patrols on foot, motorcycle, and car in dangerous spots. We are reinforcing the strength, structure, and organization of crime detection units as a requirement. On the other hand, we consider intelligent control of criminals with a history of violent crimes to be effective,” Rezaei boasted.<\/p>\n
