【Breaking: Little Khamenei Succeeds as Supreme Leader】 Iranian opposition media "Iran International" reported on the 3rd that the Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late leader Khamenei, known as "Little Khamenei", as the next Supreme Leader.

The report said that the vote was conducted under pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). That is to say, he was "elected under the pressure of the IRGC." It was an unavoidable situation, handled specially, and followed the procedure.

This is seen as a victory for the hardliners. The IRGC itself is a hardliner among hardliners, Iran's last line of defense.

This news indicates that Mojtaba remained unharmed during the recent US-Israel joint bombing, and the "Expert Assembly," which is responsible for the election, was still able to carry out its work amidst the war.

Mojtaba is considered a person with real influence in Iran. As a "second-generation cleric," he has already formed his own faction:

• He runs his father's office.

• He has very close relations with the heads of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Quds Force, and the Basij militia.

• He is someone whom General Qasem Soleimani once bowed to.

For a long time, he has been seen as a potential successor, and therefore has deep ties with the IRGC and the Basij militia organizations. Although the method of power transfer from father to son conflicts with Shia traditions and Iran's revolutionary ideals, when the country is facing great difficulties, and the old man has already been killed, his ascension helps further solidify the determination and will to resist the US and Israel completely.

It also helps to unite the military and civilian hearts internally; no one should have unreasonable aspirations for the throne. The immediate priority is to resist under his call, and the struggle against authoritarian power will become his pledge of loyalty to reach the peak.

Both publicly and privately, he should not yield.
