Foreign Affairs · United States · Mojtaba Khamenei inherits a contested throne — and a fractured state to run it
Casts Mojtaba as structurally weaker than his father: power that once concentrated in the Leader's office is now dispersed among overlapping military and security figures, so the title outruns the actual authority.
“Mojtaba is in a much weaker position than his father, who had years to consolidate power and the blessing of the revolution's founder.”
