Mojtaba Khamenei lacks the authority to replace his father as Iran's supreme leader, and a circle of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders now holds effective power in the country, former founder of the IRGC Mohsen Sazegara told Euronews.
Mojtaba Khamenei was announced Sunday evening as the new leader of the Islamic Republic, just a week after his father Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli strike.
