Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is a no-show at own succession rally: ‘The charisma of a boiled potato’

Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was a no-show at his own succession rally in Tehran — and observers speculate that he’s either wounded or hiding out in fear.

As thousands gathered on Monday to celebrate Khamenei’s appointment as the country’s new supreme leader, the nepo-baby mullah was represented by a mere portrait — one that was half the size of dad Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s.

The portrait of the dead leader took up the center of the stage, according to state media footage of the event.

It’s either he’s out cold in a hospital, or he’s scared and hiding in the deepest bunker they have after seeing his dad be turned into red mist,” Khosro Isfahani, a research director for the opposition group National Union for Democracy, said of the missing Khamenei.

Isfahani told The Post that Khamenei lacks public support and was only appointed to the position because of pressure from the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

He has the charisma of a boiled potato,” Isfahani quipped.

Despite his unpopularity and lack of leadership qualities, Khosro said the leaders of Iran’s top two factions — Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf — are happy for Khamenei’s son to step into the crosshairs.

"Those two want to sit this out and are happy to see Mojtaba be the one to beat his chest and take the reins,” Khosro said.

Mojtaba is irrelevant, and they see it as a short-term appointment because it’s not going to last very long,” he added, referencing America’s latest threat to Khamenei.

Mojtaba Khamenei, who was repeatedly treated for impotence in London and had trouble fathering a child, wasn’t popular with the other clerics, but does have the backing of the powerful IRGC.

Larijani is widely viewed as the most powerful man in Iran following the ayatollah’s death at the start of the war, with the official recently threatening President Trump.

Trump has repeatedly warned Tehran not to pick a leader without seeking his approval first, with the commander-in-chief specifically naming Khamenei an “unacceptable” candidate.

"They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight,” Trump told Axios.

The president also told ABC News that Iran’s new leader is “not going to last long” without his direct approval.

Actually, I think he's smart. Smart enough to know when his life is on the line.
Re: Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei Is A No-Show At His Own Succession Rally by Razzness(m):
The guy is in mourning now. He just lost his dad, mom, wife, and son on the same day; that's a lot for any man to take. Moreover, he was probably wounded in the attacks. He is also fully aware of the fact that there is a target on his back; any public appearance will not just put him in danger but also anyone around him.

Like he needs to turn up!

Are they not seeing all his missiles!

Iran’s victory will always be attributed to him!

Western media should shove their propaganda up their asses.

If the destruction of Israel would ever be attributed to anyone, he will be the one.Same one that humbled the USA.

See how dem describe person wey God create...


PS
I like the fact that we Nigerians are well-versed in international politics and other global events.

We display very sound intelligence in our articles and comments online..

How about we channel this intellect inwards?

Why can't we use this to solve our leadership and governance crises, Epileptic power supply, and terrorism that has ravaged almost half of the country?

We're everywhere displaying superior knowledge over critical issues, but back home, we live in a sheethole.

Perhaps the real task before us is to direct that same level of awareness, debate, and commitment toward solving the problems that affect us most directly tongue

Smh.

OP has shifted from spreading lies about the revered Dr. D.K. Olukoya, General Overseer, MFM Ministries, to spreading lies about the new Iranian Supreme Leader.

Shameless Isreali propaganda media. As bad as Trump is, I still respect the office of the President of the USA , I have never used swear, denigrating word for him but these indecent, uncivilized and uncouth people like the reporter, hid is identity and throw decency to the wind , unsheathe their hatred.

Like Jeffery Epstein's disgraceful notoriety, below is the horrible reputation of the writer below:

Ronny Reyes, Sephardic Jew Propagandist at NY Post Strikes Again
The Jew Problem at The New York Post
American in Exile
Oct 07, 2024

The NY Post is infested with Jews. The Post has staked out a business strategy of being one of the few media outlets that appeals to conservatives, instead of having to compete in a field overcrowded by the majority of media that are unashamedly leftist.

So The Post will do obvious chest beating for barely-Republican Ted Cruz, or the constant harping on the obvious targets in the repugnant Biden-Harris regime, in order to court their intended audience of conservatives.

But when it's on those things most critical to the plans of international Jewry, like the Jewish-created Ukraine conflict and intent for WW3, or the shocking slaughter in Gaza, the NY Post Jews show their real face…well, sort of.

Usually, when The Post publishes something so obviously Jew propaganda that it reads like something sent to it directly from AIPAC, the ADL, or the Netanyahu administration, the Jews at the NY Post cravenly hide behind the anonymous byline "Post Editorial Board", because the authors have names ending in -berg, -stein, or -witz, a fact the Jews hide from you, lest you eventually catch on to the pattern.

The Post also makes use of less-obvious Jews.
Enter one such Sephardic Jew Latrino, Ronny Reyes, who today on the one-year anniversary of the October 7th military strike by Hamas against Jew occupation, scored The NY Post front page for his Tribe's manipulative propaganda about Jew hostages, with a piece titled "A Year of Anguish" with that anguish supposed to be the modest number of Jew hostages that were taken for the specific purpose of trading them for among the thousands of hostages that Israel holds, Palestinians being held in jails for years with no charges for any crimes, something illegal in civilized countries.

How is Israel and America being put to shame?
Iran supreme leader was liquidated on day one of battle.
Hundreds of Iran's military leaders liquidated.
Iran's Navy and airforce is obliterated.
Thousands of Irans citizens dead.

And more interesting toys from the US are on their way to Iran.

They managed to appoint a leader just to save face.
Iran's revolutionary guards are currently in charge of the country.
