Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of experts, Iranian International reported Tuesday.

Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.

    I refuse to criticize anyone that decides to take a jet landing with an arrested stop on an aircraft carrier compared to just a simple helicopter landing. That’s cool as hell.

    Everything else about this moment was stupid and misleading though.

      Yes but it’s dumb as hell for a president to try to look cool as hell for the cameras before making a speech about a damn war he started.
