Mojtaba Khamenei Named New Supreme Leader of Iran

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Global News Today. Iran's assembly of experts has chosen Mortshtaba Kaminay as the new Supreme Leader, stepping in for his father, Ayatollah Ali Kaminay. The elder Kaminay was killed recently in strikes carried out by the United States in Israel. Morshtaba is a mid-level cleric who has built strong links with the powerful revolutionary guards. For years, parts of Iran's leadership saw him as a likely successor to his father. Even though the system opposes family handovers of power, Morshtaba enjoys solid backing from the guards and his late father's influential team.
