Iran succession
As of March 2026, Iran is undergoing its first leadership transition in nearly four decades following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in military strikes in late February 2024.
Current Leadership Status
Mojtaba Khamenei: On 9 March 2026, the Assembly of Experts officially announced that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late leader, had been chosen as the new Supreme Leader in a unanimous vote.
Interim Governance: Between the death of Ali Khamenei and the appointment of his son, a Provisional Leadership Council governed the country. This council included:
Masoud Pezeshkian (President)
Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei (Chief Justice)
Alireza Arafi (Senior Cleric from the Guardian Council)
The Succession Process
The transition follows specific constitutional and political procedures:
The Assembly of Experts: This 88-member body of senior clerics is legally responsible for selecting the Supreme Leader. During this transition, they faced significant pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to move quickly and ensure continuity.
Constitutional Hurdles: While the constitution requires the leader to be a high-ranking cleric with political and moral authority, it no longer requires the rank of "Grand Ayatollah," a change made in 1989 that facilitated Ali Khamenei's own rise.
Dynastic Concerns: The choice of Mojtaba Khamenei is seen by some as a move toward hereditary rule, which was a core grievance against the Pahlavi monarchy overthrown in 1979.

IRAN: Who would succeed the Supreme Leader?
If the death of Ali Khamenei were confirmed, the decision would fall to the Assembly of Experts.
Several names are circulating:
• Mojtaba Khamenei
• Sadeq Larijani
• Alireza Arafi
But the key factor remains the IRGC.
At present, the regime's priority is continuity and control of the still tense situation.
