Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei becomes third Leader of the Islamic Revolution. Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei was selected by Iran's Assembly of Experts, comprised of 88 clerics and supervised by the 12-member Guardian Council, which acts as a watchdog for Iran's constitution. His father Ali Khamenei was killed on February 28 in a strike that also took out about 40 other high ranking Iranian officials.
