Media: Mojtaba Khamenei May Be More Dangerous Than His Father

Iran's new ruler values human life even less.

Former Iranian official Jaber Rajabi, who previously worked as a foreign policy adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the son of Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei could pose an even greater threat than his father. In the interview, he said he believes the younger Khamenei has less value for human life and is able to act more secretively, writes "Maariv".

Rajabi said he has known Mojtaba Khamenei since his youth. They studied together at a religious seminary in the Iranian city of Qom. According to the interlocutor, the future politician gave the impression of a man who said one thing but could think completely differently. He characterized him as hypocritical and inclined to hide his true intentions.

In the interview, Rajabi claims that Mojtaba Khamenei treats human life without special value. According to him, if the country's leadership is able to allow the deaths of thousands of its own citizens, the deaths of people in other countries will not be an obstacle for him either. He stated, "If he can kill 13,000 of his own citizens, he has no problem with killing 100,000 in Tel Aviv."

The former official also believes that if Mojtaba Khamenei comes to power, he may act differently from his father. In his opinion, he would not immediately make harsh statements about seizing Jerusalem, but would first try to gain the trust of the US and regional states. Rajabi claims that the son of the supreme leader can lie much more convincingly and is able to conceal real plans in order to strengthen his influence.

Separately, he touched upon the topic of Mojtaba Khamenei's financial capabilities. According to Rajabi, the latter controls a vast financial network outside Iran. We are talking about assets in London, the United Arab Emirates and a number of European countries, the total value of which, it is said, can reach several billion dollars.

Rajabi himself now lives in the UAE under the protection of local authorities. He said he had previously participated in militias in Iraq and was linked to Shiite groups, but later distanced himself from the regime. The former official also said he had survived several assassination attempts, including poisoning and an attempt to electrocute him.

At the end of the interview, Rajabi said he favored a future for Iran without religious extremism. He said he hopes to one day see a country that lives in peace with the rest of the world and is not in conflict with the United States and Israel.
