Iran's military junta erases Khamenei heir
A military junta is consolidating power in Iran after Ali Khamenei's death. New Tehran billboards display the 7 men running the country. Notably absent: Mojtaba Khamenei, the former supreme leader's son who would've inherited power under the old system.
This is a hard reset on succession. The Islamic Republic's dynasty just got overthrown by its own military apparatus.
