Darragh Roche 22 hrs ago

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has transferred his powers to his son as concerns about his failing health have mounted and the country faces increased tensions with Israel and U.S.

Iranian journalist Mohamad Ahwaze reported the major political move on Twitter, citing sources in the country. Writing in Arabic, Ahwaze said Khamenei had handed power over to his son, Mojtaba Khamenei.

“Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was scheduled to meet on Friday with the Iranian Leader Khamenei, this meeting between [Khamenei] and President Rouhani was canceled due to the deterioration of Khamenei’s health condition,” Ahwaze wrote.

Apparently, there are some real concerns and real questions about what is happening in Iran right now. There does not appear to be anything that would see a transfer of power at this point but real concern over the status of the “Supreme Leader”, different than their elected leader, Rouhani.

It’s a sensitive part of the world, something to keep an eye on.
