Is Iran’s highest era to end? Ayatollah Ali Khamenei name successor; Son’s name is missing

Staring at an uncertain future, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has allegedly nominated three senior clerics, as potential successors have marked an unprecedented step since the Iran-Israeli war started, suggesting that he is preparing for the end of over three-decades.According to a New York Times report, Khamenei’s son Mojtaba, who is also a cleric, has not been nominated in the list of successors. Ebrahim Raisi, former Iran’s hardline president, was once seen as a prominent contender to succeed Ayatollah Khamenei, but ended his possibilities with his death in a helicopter crash in 2024.Furthermore, citing Iranian officials, the report said that Khomeni has retreated for a safe underground bunker, suspended all electronic communication and rely on a reliable ally to fully relay messages to military commanders. These emergency protocols reflect a deep concern over the dangers of murder, especially in recent Israeli attacks, follow the deaths of several high -ranked IRGC officers.

Proceed to end the succession of the dynasty?

For a long time the curtain has been seen as a shady figure with considerable effects, and is often estimated to be ready for leadership, the Mozaba’s lapse took a deliberate step to reject dynastic succession. This may be an attempt to maintain the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic to maintain its religious and institutional foundation rather than allowing power within a family line.The naming of the heirs and the Islamic revolutionary guard seems to be doing ground work for continuity in the case of further instability or even his sudden demise by reshuffling the major positions within the corps. It is now a rare acceptance of fragility around Iran’s top leadership, as the country struggles with external military threats and internal questions about its political future.

We are not untouchable, Israeli signal khomeini

The fears of Khomeni are not confused. In the last week, the US and Israel made it clear that both would consider targeting the supreme leader.Even though the United States has not officially entered the Iran-Israeli crisis, Donald Trump has clarified its contempt towards Khameni Crystal after issuing a clear warning to the Supreme leader, stating that the state would not “kill him”, “at least not for now”.He said, “We know properly where the so -called ‘supreme leader’ is hidden. He is an easy goal, but there is safe – we are not taking him out (kill!), At least not for now,” he said earlier this week. Trump has also demanded unconditional surrender.After this, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was warned that the nation was not targeting Khomeni. Talking to ABC News, when asked if Israel would target the supreme leader, Netanyahu said “What do we need to do.”Meanwhile, Khomeni has not directly responded to these dangers, but it has made it clear that Iran “will not present for anyone’s attacks”.
