According to reports, the Assembly of Iranian Experts elected the new supreme leader on September 26. Khamenei himself summoned 60 members of the assembly and asked them to decide secretly on the successor. The assembly unanimously accepted the name of Mojtaba Khamenei.

Who chooses the Supreme Leader in Iran: According to CNN, the Supreme Leader in Iran is chosen by the Assembly of Experts. To become supreme leader in Iran, you must obtain two-thirds of the votes. The Assembly of Experts is a group of 86 religious people. Their elections take place every 8 years. However, the Guardian Council plays an important role in their selection.
The Guardian Council is a government body that interprets articles of the constitution and organizes elections in Iran. If the Council of Guardians wishes, it can cancel the membership of a member of the Assembly of Experts.
The Supreme Leader plays an important role in selecting members of the Guardian Council. During his tenure in this position over the past 35 years, Khamenei has filled the Guardian Council with his trusted people.
Supreme Leader Khamenei delivered a speech on October 4 following the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. It was his last public speech.
Khamenei, who held supreme power in Iran for 35 years, played an important role in the Islamic Revolution. He has served as Iran’s supreme leader since the death of Ruhollah Khamenei in 1989. During the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, Khamenei played a major role in the revolution when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was ousted.
After the Islamic Revolution, Khamenei was appointed president in 1981. He remained in this position for 8 years. After the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Khomeini in 1989, he was named his successor.
The position of supreme leader in Iran is the highest in the political and religious system. His authority exceeds that of the President. The Supreme Leader has the right to make decisions in the military, judicial and religious fields of the country. No one can challenge his decision.
After becoming supreme leader, the first thing Khamenei did was to organize Iran. In fact, after eight years of war against Iraq, Iran’s economic and social situation has suffered greatly. After taking office, Khamenei maintained Islamic principles and Sharia law in Iran.
