Following the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Expediency Discernment Council has established an interim three-member leadership council to manage military and security affairs. This council includes President Masoud Pezeshkian and judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, aiming to prevent a leadership vacuum. However, the appointment of a new Supreme Leader is being delayed due to escalating security concerns. Mojtaba Khamenei, the late leader's son, has emerged as a potential successor, but his connections to a luxury property network in Europe have raised questions about his qualifications and integrity, particularly regarding his ties to the Revolutionary Guards.
