The public now gets its first look at Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, amidst an ongoing regional conflict. Iranian state media, IRIB, published an undated video depicting him teaching religious science to students. He became Supreme Leader after his 86-year-old father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike on February 28.
