Election of Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader of Iran has not only  spiritual but also military-political justifications - expert 

ArmInfo. By electing Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Seyed  Khamenei, as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), Iran has demonstrated that even a powerful superpower like the United States cannot impose a convenient Iranian leader on Iran. This  opinion was expressed by Iranologist Vartan Voskanyan on his Telegram channel.

According to him, by electing Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran  sent several signals to the outside world. First and foremost,  Voskanyan believes, this demonstrates systemic political continuity  in Iran.

"Secondly, the new spiritual leader is one of the most influential  figures in the Iranian deep state - a participant in the Iran-Iraq  War and someone closely associated with the Islamic Revolutionary  Guard Corps," the Iranologist noted.

That is, as the expert explained, in a wartime environment, this  choice has not only a spiritual but also a clear military-political  justification. "Finally, with this choice, they are sending a signal  that even a powerful superpower like the United States cannot impose  its leader on Iran or influence its choice as long as the country  exists as an independent state," Voskanyan concluded.

As a reminder, on the morning of February 28, the United States and  Israel attacked Iran. In response, Iran launched strikes against  American bases in the Middle East. As a result of the  American-Israeli aggression, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and  several high-ranking Iranian military officials were killed. On March  8, the Iranian Council of Experts elected Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba  Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Seyed Khamenei, as the  new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
