According to Ynet News and Iran International reports, Tehran has secretly selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran's next leader. The decision reportedly came during a confidential September 26 Assembly of Experts meeting, called due to the 85-year-old leader's alleged illness. Despite initial opposition, 60 assembly members unanimously approved the succession under pressure. Sources suggest power transfer might occur during the elder Khamenei's lifetime to ensure smooth transition.

This assurance, delivered in mid-October, was Tehran's response to a stern warning from the U.S., which had made it clear that any attempt on the life of a former American official would be considered “an act of war.”
