A grandiose memorial wall was unveiled today (Sunday) in the city of Mashhad, Iran, dedicated to prominent 'martyrs' of the Islamic Revolution.
Surprisingly, among the pictures of the dead leaders, a portrait of Mojtaba Khamenei - who was appointed as the new Supreme Leader of Iran - also appeared.
The inclusion of Khamenei Jr.'s picture in the list of "martyrs" reveals the chaos prevailing in the Iranian chain of command and has created embarrassment.

President Donald Trump described the chaos in Tehran on Saturday: "They're probably fighting for leadership. In a lot of cases, I think they're fighting whoever the leader is because we've eliminated two layers of leaders.".
Khamenei has not been seen in public or recorded since the start of Operation "Harry's Roar." According to The New York Times, the reason is his deep fear of appearing vulnerable or sounding weak on air after being seriously injured, and that he runs the country underground: messages to him are delivered only by hand, through an extensive network of couriers traveling in cars and motorcycles on back roads.
