00:23French unrest is being reported from Tehran after a dramatic leadership
00:29change in Iran.
00:34Just hours after Mojtaba Khamenei was named the country's new supreme leader, a viral
00:40video is now showing protesters chanting death to Mojtaba.
00:50The clip, circulating widely on social media, reportedly captures women shouting the slogan
00:55in Persian from apartment windows in Tehran's Ekbatan neighborhood.
01:05Religious chants can also be heard faintly in the background, suggesting the protest erupted
01:10in the middle of the night.
01:11The footage has not been independently verified, but it surfaced just before Iran's powerful
01:16clerical body.
01:20The assembly of experts officially confirmed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new supreme
01:25leader.
01:30Mojtaba Khamenei is the son of Iran's longtime leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in joint
01:35U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28th.
01:38At 56 years old, Mojtaba now becomes only the third supreme leader since the 1979 Islamic
01:45revolution.
01:46But his appointment is already triggering domestic anger and international pressure.
01:52U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington should have a say in Iran's leadership transition,
01:56warning that Mojtaba Khamenei may not last long without U.S. approval.
02:00At the same time, Israel has also threatened to target whoever succeeds Ali Khamenei.
02:05This leadership shift comes in the middle of an escalating regional war.
02:09After the U.S. and Israel carried out strikes inside Iran, Tehran responded by firing missiles
02:14toward Israel and American bases across the Gulf.
02:17According to reports, more than 1,300 people have been killed in Iran, over a dozen in Israel,
02:22and at least six U.S. soldiers have died in the conflict.
02:25U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu say the strikes were
02:29necessary, claiming Iran posed an imminent threat.
02:32But inside Iran, the viral chants from Tehran suggest the leadership transition itself may
02:37now be fueling public anger.
02:40And if these protests spread, Iran could be facing not just a regional war, but growing unrest
02:45at home.
