 Syed Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader, has been named as Iran's new Supreme Leader

The 56-year-old cleric generally has been in north London but overseeing a sprawling investment empire, according to people familiar with the matter and the assessment of a leading Western intelligence agency. 

The younger Khamenei refrains from putting assets in his own name, he has been directly involved in the deals, some of which stretch back at least as far as 2011, reports said recently.  

Behind the facades of these luxury homes on The Bishops Avenue lies a network stretching from Tehran to Dubai and Frankfurt. The ultimate ownership traces back, through layers of shell companies, to one of the most powerful men in the Middle East: Mojtaba Khamenei, the second-eldest son of Iran's Supreme Leader. 

A year-long Bloomberg News investigation reveals how the family's financial reach has expanded beyond the borders of the Islamic Republic, it was claimed. 

Below is the moment that Khamenei's death was announced, with the statement, in part, that: "Leader and Imam of the Muslims, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, on the path of upholding the exaltation of the sacred sanctuary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, drank the sweet, pure drought of martyrdom and joined the Supreme Heavenly Kingdom", according to a Reuters translation.
