Mojtaba Khamenei
Mojtaba Khamenei is the son of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and a powerful figure within the Iranian political landscape. At 55, he has maintained a largely behind-the-scenes role, yet is believed to exert significant influence over key state decisions, including military and security matters. Known for his controversial reputation, he has been linked to the violent suppression of protests, particularly during the 2009 demonstrations. As discussions arise about succession in Iran, many speculate that Mojtaba could emerge as a modernizing force akin to Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman, despite skepticism regarding his reformist potential.
Born on Sep 04, 1968 (56 years old)
