Mojtaba Khamenei
Supreme Leader, Iran
Decisions from the two weeks to 13 October 2026
12 October 2026
Pledged revenge for slain father and predecessor
Iran's supreme leader pledged revenge for his slain father and predecessor. [1]
Revenge for his father may answer grief, but it cites no evidence, serves Mojtaba's power, and is irreversible and disproportionate.
Instead: I would have ordered evidence-based restraint and independent investigation, not an irreversible pledge of revenge that endangers Iranians.

Called for strengthening law enforcement with AI
Khamenei called for strengthening law enforcement agencies with AI. He seeks an AI boost for security forces. [1] [2]
AI could aid policing, but Khamenei cites no evidence, entrenches his security power, and creates costly irreversible surveillance.
Instead: I would have piloted audited AI with civil-liberties safeguards and published metrics before any nationwide security deployment.
