The New York Times cited sources reporting that Iran has not yet selected a new Supreme Leader, and Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Khamenei, is the current front-runner.
Media sources said that the Iranian Experts Assembly held two online meetings yesterday. After discussions, Mojtaba Khamenei became the obvious favorite.
Yesterday, a source from Iran International Television also claimed that the decision had leaned toward Mojtaba, but the interviewees from The New York Times denied this.
Other potential candidates include Ali Reza Alavi and Sayed Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini.
Iran's last election of a new Supreme Leader was in 1989, when the Experts Assembly appointed Ali Khamenei.
