00:00Do you believe that Iran's new supreme leader, Moshe Taba Khamenei, is alive?
00:04Well, we have indications that he is. Obviously, they claim that he is.
00:07We don't have evidence that he's not.
00:09But I think the unresolved questions here are, does he have the same credibility as his father did?
00:14You know, we know that for many, many years, at least I know that for many years,
00:18there's been internal debates in Iran about succession and whether it should be, you know, hereditary-based.
00:23Should it be that there are a lot of resistance to that?
00:25Does he have the clerical credentials to actually act as supreme leader?
00:29Or is he actually making the decisions?
00:31Or is there somebody standing in his stead who's basically controlling 90% of it
00:35and is the one actually making decisions on his behalf?
00:37We don't know the answers to this.
