- Mar 09, 2026, 04:22 AMIran has fired a fresh wave of missiles toward Israel following the appointment of its new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. State broadcaster IRIB shared images of the missile launch, showing a projectile with the slogan "At Your Command, Sayyid Mojtaba," signaling the country's military readiness under the new leadership.
Mojtaba Khamenei, aged 56, was officially chosen to succeed his late father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, by the Assembly of Experts. This makes him the third supreme leader of Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. State television announced his appointment alongside a picture highlighting his resemblance to his father.
The appointment comes amid high tension in the region, with both the United States and Israel reportedly warning that Mojtaba could be targeted. Despite these threats, Iran's clerical body acted quickly to ensure a smooth leadership transition, stating they "did not hesitate for a minute" in their decision.
Nine days after US-Israeli strikes reportedly killed Ali Khamenei, Iran's Assembly of Experts convened to elect a new leader. The group emphasized that the selection was made decisively and without delay, citing the ongoing aggression by the United States and Israel as a reason for swift action.
The missile launch marks the first major military operation under Mojtaba Khamenei's rule. Analysts suggest this could signal a more assertive Iranian stance in the Middle East, especially as the new leader establishes his authority and responds to international pressure.
While the region watches closely, Iran continues to project strength through its military exercises. The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei reflects both continuity and change, as the country balances internal leadership decisions with external geopolitical challenges.
