The Assembly of Experts elected Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s third Leader, swiftly dismantling Washington’s fantasies of internal chaos. The Tehran Times profiles the “Young Khamenei,” detailing his scholarly pedigree and his seamless transition to the front lines of leadership. From his defiant messages to the nationwide rallies of allegiance, these articles document a nation standing firm. While Western media outlets struggle to explain their “epic failure” in predicting Iran’s stability, the message remains clear: Trump and Netanyahu’s plots have failed, and the new Leader remains Washington and Tel Aviv’s most persistent and principled nightmare.
