Modžetaba Hamenei

Modžetaba Hamenei, 56, is the second eldest son of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hamenei. He has been chosen as a potential successor amidst ongoing pressure from the Revolutionary Guard, signaling a continuity in the Iranian political hierarchy. Previously sanctioned by the U.S. in 2019, Modžetaba lacks a formal role in the regime, making his selection unusual.
