Iran names Mojtaba Khamenei as new supreme leader – what will this mean for the war?

The younger Khamenei has gained control not only of an Iranian military now at war but also a stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be used to build a nuclear weapon – should he choose to decree it. Before his selection, he had been a combination of aide-de-camp, confidant, gatekeeper and power broker, according to United Against Nuclear Iran, a US-based pressure group.
