      DUBAI/JERUSALEM, March 8 (Reuters) – A senior Iranian cleric involved in the vote to choose a new supreme leader indicated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son ​Mojtaba would be his successor, although a formal announcement was awaited, after Israel threatened whoever was chosen.

      The comment by Ayatollah Hosseinali Eshkevari, a member of the Assembly of Experts, follows growing expectations Mojtaba Khamenei, ‌a hardline cleric like his father, would be named as supreme leader, a position giving him the final say in all matters of state in the Islamic Republic.

      If confirmed, the move could draw the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump who had said he should have a role in the choice of the next leader, a demand Iran has roundly rejected.

      „The name of Khamenei will continue,“ Eshkevari, one of the 88 members of the assembly, said in a video published in Iranian media, as Israel expanded strikes on Iran to include fuel depots and Bahrain blamed Iran ​for a strike on a desalination plant.

      „The vote has been cast and will be announced soon.“ Eshkevari said, without providing further details.

      Israel continued to target senior Iranian figures, including Abolqasem Babaian, the recently appointed head of the military ​office of the supreme leader, saying he was killed in a Saturday strike.

      Shouldn’t there be some rule that if you call yourself a Republic you can’t unilaterally choose the son/daughter of the direct former leader a successor? Looking at you Iran and North Korea.

      I am stunned that they found the most qualified next supreme leader living in the exact same house…

      Sadly another far-right, misogynistic creep will be the supreme leader.

      They should nominate Netanyahu as the next supreme leader to see if they’ll drone strike him

      I wonder if the interim goal was to get him killed so then others not in the same bloodline can take over power long term.

      The Iranian constitution forbids heriditary transition of power for Supreme leader stemming from shiite beliefs

      We are probably watching the same kind of outcome as if Putin were killed or died. An equally hard line, younger person steps in. That person hates America, takes a longer term view of resistance, and can probably rally the nation better than a 90 year-old religious person in the case of Iran. The US may turn out to be worse off because of its decapitation program. Then, think about the fatwa decreed against Trump. He should be the one who is afraid now.

      Americans love their Part 2 sequel stories.

      Nothing better than a boy, looking to avenge his father. Script writes itself.
