Mojtaba Khamenei

Story summary
Khamenei's funeral is not the end of one era, but rather a test of the "feasibility" of beginning an era that has not yet found its own name. If Mujtaba appears, he must prove he has something more than a family name in his pocket. If he does not appear, it must be explained why the system has hidden its heir at the moment of allegiance. And if the Revolutionary Guards are seen above all else, perhaps the answer has already become clear: the Islamic Republic after Ali Khamenei may have a leader, but its center of gravity is elsewhere.
