Hamenei's official Twitter post screenshot:

"According to Article 108 of the Constitution, the members of the Assembly of Experts have appointed and announced Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei (may Allah protect him) as the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

This tweet is not only informing that "the person has changed," but also declaring to the domestic and international community during a special period: the emergence of the new leader is legal, the power transition is smooth, and the policies will continue.

Although the leader has been determined, his security has become a focus of international attention.

According to the latest news, the new Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei is facing extremely high security risks, and his personal safety has become the core focus of the current conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. Both the United States and Israel have issued clear threats of military force.

US President Trump openly threatened that the new leader not approved by him "will not last long," and claimed he would "personally participate" in the selection, even excluding the possibility of sending special forces into Iran.

Israel's threat is more direct, with an Israeli military spokesperson publicly declaring that they will "hunt down" the new supreme leader of Iran and all members of the Assembly of Experts. Previously, the building of the Assembly of Experts that was involved in electing the new leader was attacked.

Facing the "decapitation" threat, Iran has built a strict security network for the new leader:

It is said that the leader's residence "Motahari Complex" is wrapped in reinforced concrete four meters thick, equipped with anti-bunker facilities and underground bunkers, and is guarded around the clock by a specialized elite "Supreme Leader Protection Force" of about 2000 people.

The 190,000 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps directly under the Supreme Leader have sworn allegiance to the new leader's instructions, and their "Quds Force" will eliminate threats abroad in advance.

The Revolutionary Guards claim to have the capability to maintain a high-intensity war for at least six months, and have sufficient missile reserves, aiming to deter enemy assassination actions through deterrence.
