Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamanei may seek legitimacy by "showing defiance, endurance, and revenge," an Iran expert told Newsweek.

Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed Iran's new supreme leader, taking over from his late father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. More hardline and conservative than his father, Khamenei has already drawn criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed "disappointment" in his selection.

The second son of the late supreme leader keeps a low profile. But he's long been viewed as wielding his power behind the scenes, from crushing dissent to influencing presidential elections.

DUBAI/JERUSALEM, March 9 - Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his slain father as supreme leader on Monday, signalling that hardliners remain firmly in charge and appearing to close off any path to a swift end to war in the Middle East.

He’s pretty soft on the idea. President Trump is having a hard time picturing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s reportedly impotent son Mojtaba taking over the Iranian regime — insisting the 56-year-old who was hospitalized four times for problems in the sack is a “lightweight.

The documents claimed that Mojtaba struggled with an “impotency problem” that reportedly delayed his marriage and required multiple medical visits to the United Kingdom before he was able to father a child.
