The Iranian Army has issued an urgent statement pledging obedience to Mojtaba Khamenei, signaling his consolidation of power and control over the military.
The Iranian military establishment has publicly sworn obedience to Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ali Khamenei, explicitly referring to him as "Commander" in a strong indication of a definitive leadership transition in Tehran.
According to the pro-Iran Iraqi channel واحد عراق, the Iranian Army issued an urgent declaration affirming its unwavering loyalty to the new leadership. The channel reported the military's direct pledge: "We will be stronger than ever, complying with the orders of Commander Mojtaba Khamenei in protecting independence and the regime."
This announcement was rapidly circulated across regional "Axis of Resistance" media networks, which collectively maintain an editorial stance closely aligned with Tehran. The statement was amplified by the Palestinian faction-aligned network شبكة قدس الإخبارية (Quds News Network) and prominent pro-Hezbollah Lebanese journalist الاعلامي حسين مرتضى (Hussein Mortada), accumulating over 41,000 views across the platforms.
The explicit elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei to the status of "Commander" and the military's public pledge to follow his orders to protect the "regime" marks a highly significant geopolitical development, openly confirming his direct control over Iran's armed forces.
The source messages explicitly refer to Mojtaba Khamenei as 'Commander' whose orders the military obeys, which heavily implies he has succeeded his father Ali Khamenei as Supreme Leader or Commander-in-Chief.
