Who is the Iranian Islamic Republic’s ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei?

Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was eliminated in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation Roaring Lion; He is considered more extreme than his father

Well that’s not good news, someone more extreme than Khamenei.  It seems he might be responsible for the crackdown when protests began in January. Doesn’t bode well for regime change which is the priority, IMO.  But  you will get what you get in an Islamist republic. Rh

Mojtaba Khamenei was officially chosen Sunday evening as the Supreme Leader of Iran, according to state media. Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation “Lion’s Roar.”

A decision on the matter was supposed to be published last week, but was apparently postponed due to concerns he would be assassinated. Those responsible for the decision to choose Mojtaba are the Assembly of Experts, which Israel attempted to strike last week — 88 clerics who have the authority to determine the identity of the next leader.

Nevertheless, among the current leadership in Iran there are also opponents. The most prominent of them is Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

In 2004, Mojtaba married Zahra, and in 2007 their first child was born. According to reports, he was forced to seek fertility treatment abroad, and earlier this week it was reported in Iran that his son and wife were killed in an attack alongside the former Supreme Leader and his wife.

He studied in religious institutions in the city of Qom and received approval as a cleric. He is close to the Revolutionary Guards and established his connections with those who would later become high-ranking members of the organization during the Iran-Iraq War. His wife and one of his children were killed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

In recent weeks, claims have been made in Iran that Mojtaba played a significant role in suppressing the protests in January, coordinating actions with the Revolutionary Guards. If the regime maintains its current hierarchy, it is expected to make the country even more conservative, and is also likely to promote the election of conservative allies to key positions in the country, just as he promoted former Iranian President Ahmadinejad to his role.  I 24 Israeli News

Latest Update: Mojtaba has a broken leg and some type of eye injury and is the hospital. Maybe he is just scared about elimination. Hospital is a good place to hide. Rh

Gabbard Warns Thousands of Known Terrorists Admitted to U.S. Under Biden

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned that suspected terrorists may be present inside the United States, criticizing immigration and vetting policies under the Biden administration and describing the situation as a national security concern.

Gabbard cited data from the National Counterterrorism Center indicating that approximately 18,000 known or suspected terrorists entered the United States during the previous administration. She said her primary concern is that additional individuals may have entered the country without being identified by authorities.

Gabbard made the remarks in an interview with Fox News over the weekend while discussing broader counterterrorism challenges facing U.S. intelligence agencies and the ongoing efforts to identify potential security threats within the country.

“The Biden administration did not take their vetting responsibilities seriously,” Gabbard said on “Saturday in America.”

The Trump administration has repeatedly criticized immigration and vetting policies implemented under the Biden administration and has cited national security concerns as justification for expanded enforcement efforts. During his second term, President Donald Trump ordered a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration.

Gabbard said that of the estimated 18,000 known or suspected terrorists identified by the National Counterterrorism Center, approximately 2,000 were Afghan nationals who entered the United States following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

More than 100,000 Afghans were evacuated during the withdrawal. Lawmakers from both parties have previously raised concerns that the rapid pace of the evacuation resulted in gaps in the vetting process for some evacuees.

Islamist Group Arrests Syrian Christian Teacher for Refusing to Give Up His School

An Islamist rebel group affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and backed by Turkey has arrested a Christian Syrian teacher for refusing to surrender his school building for Islamic training.

Radwan Muhammad, 40, is the headmaster of a school in a northwestern Syrian village near the Afrin province.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reports that the arrest to place on July 30 after Muhammad told the Failaq al-Sham rebels, “I will hand you the building in one case only: if Jesus Christ comes down to earth again.”

Muhammad had another recent incident with the Islamist group after his wife, who had converted to Christianity, passed away. The group would not let her body be buried according to the local Christian traditions. 

Nihad Hassan, pastor of a Kurdish church in Beirut, Lebanon said, “We are extremely worried about Radwan’s life and well-being. He is being held at Failaq Al-Sham’s headquarters in Afrin and they may execute him. Those Islamist groups and their Turkish masters are walking in the footsteps of IS. In fact, many of their fighters are former IS and al Qaeda members.”

CSW Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas called for an end to this persecution against Christians and also asked for Muhammad’s release.

Turkey must stop the rebels and “immediately bring to an end all forms of violence and human rights abuses in the areas they control,” Thomas said. “We are deeply concerned for Mr. Muhammad’s welfare and we urge his abductors to release him immediately and without condition. We also urge the Turkish authorities to intervene.”
