1:25:57Now PlayingIran has chosen its new Supreme Leader: Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the recently assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei. Who is he? What does he believe? And most importantly, is his coming to power the fulfilment of ancient prophecy?
Aimen and Thomas discuss:
Mojtaba's youth and his experience fighting in the Iran-Iraq War as a 17 year old
How he became his father's primary gatekeeper, and how he used this to amass great power and wealth
Mojtaba's self-belief: that he is "the Khorasani", a long-expected End Times figure in Shia eschatology
The long story of Islamic apocalypticism and how the Islamic Republic has used medieval prophecies to justify its ambitions
