VENO TV: Opinion FROM FATHER TO SON: POWER PASSES IN IRAN – WILL AMERICA TARGET THE NEW SUPREME LEADER? By Bishop Dr. Sanya Ojo
Date: 09-03-26

As the crisis between Iran, the United States, and Israel enters its tenth day, tensions continue to escalate with no immediate sign of peace. The war has already reshaped the political landscape in Iran following reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, may now emerge as the country’s new power figure.
According to emerging reports, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was allegedly killed on the first day of coordinated strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, which triggered massive retaliatory attacks from Iran. The strike reportedly also claimed the lives of members of his family, including his wife, mother, and one of his daughters.
However, Mojtaba Khamenei, a 56-year-old hardline cleric, was said to be absent during the attack and survived the intense bombing campaign.
If confirmed, the transfer of power from father to son could mark a significant moment in Iran’s political history. Analysts believe the development may prolong the conflict rather than end it.
Prominent analyst Martin Wolf noted that the conflict could last longer than expected, especially as Iran continues to demonstrate significant military resilience. According to him, the war may only slow down when Iran begins to run out of ammunition or resources.
Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump has continued to call for “unconditional surrender”, a demand that Iran has strongly rejected.
With a new leadership potentially emerging in Tehran, questions are already being asked: Will the United States attempt to eliminate the new leader in pursuit of total surrender?
Only time will reveal the answer.
Beyond the battlefield, the war is already sending shockwaves through the global economy. Oil prices have surged amid fears of supply disruption, particularly after reports that a Saudi Aramco refinery was struck, raising concerns about energy security.
At the same time, Iranian missile barrages into Israel continue to intensify, further escalating fears that the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war.
For now, the world watches closely as the crisis unfolds.
Will diplomacy prevail, or will the war deepen further?
Time will tell.
