***Sophia Yan from The Telegraph reports:***
On Sunday, two men were thought to be in the running to be the next all-powerful supreme leader of Iran.
On Monday morning, [one of them was found dead](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/05/20/ebrahim-raisi-iran-president-helicopter-butcher-tehran/) in the wreckage of a helicopter [crash on a mountainside.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/20/iran-president-ebrahim-raisi-helicopter-crash-latest-news/)
Keen observers of Iranian regime politics believe [Ebrahim Raisi, the late president of Iran](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/19/ebrahim-raisi-hardline-iranian-president-helicopter-crash/) who was killed on Sunday night, was being groomed as a potential successor to take over from Ayatollah Khamenei, 85.
Up against him was thought to be the Ayatollah’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei – who is [now, perhaps, the only man standing](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/20/irans-president-raisi-in-helicopter-moments-before-crash/) for the job.
The strongest hint of a succession plan involving Mojtaba came in the form of a picture released by the regime last month [showing the elder Khamenei](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ayatollah-ali-khamenei/) slouched in a chair while addressing rows of turbanned clerics and decorated generals.
The careful angle of the photograph placed his son, shrouded in a brown robe, directly to the right of the supreme leader. It was Mojtaba’s first documented appearance in years at a high-level meeting. To the right of Mojtaba [sat the late Raisi.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/20/iran-president-ebrahim-raisi-killed-helicopter-crash/)
