Protesters held posters of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, carried Iranian flags and chanted anti-U.S. and anti- Israel slogans. A dozen security members surrounded the gathering and prevented attendees from crossing into the fortified Green Zone area where the US embassy is located. Mojtaba Khamenei had long been considered a contender, even before an Israeli strike killed his father at the start of the war, and despite never being elected or appointed to a government position. Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard answers to the supreme leader, and the younger Khamenei will have the central say in war strategy.
