I am hosting today’s episode of The Story podcast from The Times and The Sunday Times – and we’re exploring who Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, really is.

Thrust to power during a conflict that killed his father, with the Iranian regime as it’s most vulnerable, American fire power breathing down their neck, a furious Iranian population itching for an uprising and Isreal being explicit about their plan to kill him. Good luck.

In this episode, we explore Mojtaba Khamenei’s story, how he made lead Iran, and what it means for the conflict.
