Iran will publicly present its new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, by December 31, 2026.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in February/March 2026, and his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has succeeded him as the new Supreme Leader. However, Mojtaba Khamenei has remained out of the public eye since his succession, leading to questions about his public role and the potential redefinition of the Supreme Leader's position.
