Amid the political uncertainty surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr Anahita Motazed Rad, Visiting Senior Fellow at the London School of Economics. As the Islamic Republic navigates a moment of acute pressure, the elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei serves an important political function, explains Dr Motazed Rad. By maintaining him as the formal leader, the regime sends a message to both domestic elites and the international community that institutional cohesion remains intact during a time of war.
