Iran names the current leader's son as the new supreme leader

Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the current Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as the country's next supreme leader. State media reported the move, which signals that hardliners will remain in charge of the government.

Some headlines framed the announcement as a defiant message to President Donald Trump, suggesting no letup in Iran's foreign policy stance. The decision to appoint a family member as successor is a significant development in Iran's political system.
