Favorite for Supreme Leader of Iran spent months being 'treated for impotency' in private UK hospitals, US intelligence reveals
(Leave it to Daily Mail)
Mojtaba Khamenei, the favorite to become the new Supreme Leader of Iran, was repeatedly treated for impotency at hospitals in the UK, according to a secret US intelligence document.
On Tuesday, Mojtaba, 56, was reportedly preparing to be named successor to his father Ali Khamenei, who was killed along with 48 other senior regime officials in America and Israel's ongoing Operation Epic Fury.
According to a classified briefing sent by the State Department to the US Embassy in London in 2008, and later released by WikiLeaks, Mojtaba was placed under pressure by his family to produce heirs.
It required four visits, including a final stay lasting two months, and he eventually had a son who was named 'Ali' after the baby's grandfather, the then Supreme Leader.
According to US intelligence, Mojtaba married relatively late in life in 2004. That was 'reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK.'
Those visits were to the Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals in London., according to the intelligence document
'Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment,' it said.
'After a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant. Back in Iran, a healthy boy was born, named Ali for his paternal grandfather.'
The intelligence also detailed how 'within the Supreme Leader's office, Mojtaba works in his father's shadow,' and that he traveled with him in Iran and had a' fair degree of control over access to his father.'
He was 'widely viewed within the regime as a capable and forceful leader and manager who may someday succeed to at least a share of national leadership. His father may also see him in that light.'
He was said to be 'close to and well briefed by' the senior leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
'Ali Khamenei is reportedly seen by some within the Leader's Office as treating and consulting Mojtaba as he would an eventual successor to his responsibilities, rather than purely as an advisor,' the report said.
However, Mojtaba was seen as weak in clerical terms.
'(He) is not expected ever to achieve by his own scholarship the status of "mujtahid," far less that of ayatollah,' the report said.
'Mojtaba reportedly is quite aware of his own limitations and does not appear to harbor an expectation of becoming sole Supreme Leader in his own right,' it went on.
However, in the wake of his father's death, Iran's Assembly of Experts, comprised of 88 clerics, has now reportedly elected him Supreme Leader, according to the Iran International TV network.
Clerics could announce the reclusive Mojtaba as successor as early as Wednesday morning, although some had reservations about putting him in danger of being targeted by the US and Israel, the New York Times reported.
The decision was reportedly made after the IRGC put strong pressure on the assembly.
The meeting itself took place online after the venue in the city of Qom, where the assembly was due to convene, was bombed.
Mojtaba's selection had also been seen as unlikely because the regime has long criticized hereditary rule.
Indeed, his own father was against starting a dynasty.
Ali Khamenei, who was 86, had secretly named three potential successors before he died, none of whom was his son, the New York Times reported.
Those he did name were Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, the head of the judiciary, his chief of staff Ali Asghar Hejazi, and Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of Iran's first Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini.
Mojtaba is Ali Khamenei's second son and has an older brother Mostafa, who is also a cleric….
Blah, blah, blah he has a floppy dick!
