Iran names Mojtaba Khamenei as new supreme leader after father's killing

Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei as its new supreme leader, about a week after the assassination of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in joint United States-Israeli strikes that have plunged the entire region into a sprawling war.

The Assembly of Experts named the 56-year-old, who will now be charged with leading Iran through the biggest crisis in its 47-year history, as his father's successor on Sunday.
