Khamenei entered religious study in childhood, later training in the holy seminaries of Najaf and <strong>Qom<\/strong>, where he became a devoted disciple of Ayatollah <strong>Ruhollah Khomeini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After years of opposition to the Western-aligned Shah, he played an active role in the <strong>1979 Islamic Revolution<\/strong> that toppled the monarchy. Rising through the ranks of the new Islamic Republic, he served as deputy defense minister, helped organize the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and twice held the presidency in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1989, after Khomeini\u2019s death, Khamenei was chosen by Iran\u2019s <strong>Assembly of Experts<\/strong> as Supreme Leader\u2014a post that made him commander-in-chief of all military forces and the final authority on all state affairs, from foreign policy to judicial decisions. Critics often highlighted that the constitution was amended to enable his appointment despite his status below the highest clerical rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over nearly four decades, he maintained strict control over Iranian politics, suppressing dissent\u2014most notably during the 2009 Green Movement and the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests\u2014and fostering hardline policies toward the United States, Israel, and regional rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Strike and Its Aftermath<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>US-Israeli military operation<\/strong>, described by some outlets as \u201cOperation Epic Fury,\u201d unleashed hundreds of airstrikes on February 28, hitting government ministries, military installations, and nuclear facilities. International observers reported heavy explosions rocking Tehran and other major cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran\u2019s <strong>Red Crescent<\/strong> and state media reported <strong>significant civilian casualties<\/strong>, including dozens of children killed in strikes on schools and residential areas\u2014figures that deeply alarmed human rights advocates. One independent report documented an attack on an elementary school in Minab that killed dozens of pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In retaliation, Iran launched missiles and drones at US bases and allied positions across the <strong>Gulf region<\/strong>, with explosions reported in Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait and Qatar as tensions surged dangerously higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iranian officials and the <strong>Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/strong> condemned the strikes as a \u201cbarbaric act of war,\u201d promising decisive vengeance. State television described Khamenei as a figure who \u201cstood among his people to confront global arrogance,\u201d framing his death as martyrdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Global Reactions and Future Risks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Governments around the world reacted with a mixture of alarm and calls for de-escalation. The <strong>United Nations<\/strong> urged restraint, warning the Middle East could be plunged into a wider conflict with grave global consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts say the assassination removes a central axis of Iran\u2019s political structure, leaving a power vacuum with uncertain succession. Iran\u2019s constitution provides for the Assembly of Experts to appoint a new leader, but deep factional divisions within the regime could complicate that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact on oil markets, international diplomacy and regional alliances is expected to be profound, and global leaders are now urging restraint while preparing for potential further military escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mojtaba Khamenei Named Iran\u2019s New Supreme Leader After Father\u2019s Death<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/img-20260301-wa0052919688125127218841.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Following the death of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, a major leadership transition has taken place in the country.
