Khomeini's grandson in the picture as possible new leader of Iran
- A committee of three senior clerics has been seeking a successor to the current supreme leader, 86-year-old Ali Khamenei, for some time now.
- There is urgency now that Israel and the US have threatened to kill Khamenei.
- A relatively moderate candidate seems to have a good chance: Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic.
The search for Iran's next supreme leader has been ongoing for some time, but has become more urgent since the Israeli and American attacks on Iran and threats to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic, is one of the two main candidates.
