Video: The Woman Who Delivered the First Message of Mojtaba Khamenei on Iranian Television

A journalist from Iranian state television undertook to deliver the first message of Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, to the Iranian people. Wearing a chador, the journalist read the message with a steady voice, without showing particular emotional charge. Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed the new Supreme Leader on March 8, succeeding his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He was the second son of Ali Khamenei and was considered one of the most likely successors, despite maintaining a low profile. According to reports, Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the same attack as his father, but the severity of his condition remains unknown. His mother and wife also lost their lives in the same attack. The appearance of Mojtaba Khamenei on state television marks the official start of his leadership in Iran and is expected to have significant implications for the country's domestic and foreign policy.
