The Shadow Successor: The Rise of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s New Supreme Leader
The political landscape of the Middle East shifted tectonically this Sunday as Iran’s Assembly of Experts officially announced the election of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s third Supreme Leader. This historic transition follows the sudden death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed during the opening stages of a major military escalation involving American and Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28th. For decades, the question of who would sit atop the pyramid of the Islamic Republic’s power remained a subject of intense speculation. Now, the ascension of the 56-year-old Mojtaba marks the end of an era and the beginning of a highly controversial hereditary transition in a system that once prided itself on its revolutionary departure from monarchy.

The Empty Locker
I didn’t know his name at first. I only knew the silence. It was a Tuesday in October. The high school hallway buzzed with its usual chaos—backpacks slamming, laughter echoing, sneakers squeaking on linoleum. But one locker stayed shut. No one leaned against it. No one dropped off homework. Just a quiet space where a boy should have been.

The Suitcase in the Hallway
I didn’t pack lightly. The suitcase sat by the door for three days—half-full, then overflowing, then emptied again. I kept adding things I thought I’d need: my favorite coffee mug, the photo from last summer, the sweater that still smelled like home. Then I’d take them out, convinced they were too heavy, too sentimental, too much.

The Couple We All Watched Grow Up
I didn’t know them. But I felt like I did. For over a decade, they were part of my life—not as celebrities, but as characters in a story I watched unfold in real time. I saw them at seventeen, awkward and bright-eyed on red carpets, fumbling through interviews, hiding smiles behind their hands. I saw them navigate fame, heartbreak, and the slow, steady work of becoming adults—all while the world watched, judged, and claimed ownership of their journey.

Yunus: The International Power Behind Bangladesh’s 2026 Election
By: Tuhin Sarwar। Dhaka । February 18, 2026 । Eight months after Bangladesh’s caretaker government assumed power following the collapse of the previous administration in August 2024, the nation experienced one of its most closely watched democratic transitions in recent memory. On 12 February 2026, the country concluded a general election that delivered a two-thirds parliamentary majority to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), enabling Tarique Rahman to take office as Prime Minister. Yet an analysis by India Today reflected across global media outlets frames the story differently: the true strategic victor of Bangladesh’s 18‑month political transition was Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel laureate economist whose international stature and tactical maneuvering shaped the nation’s political landscape in ways no conventional politician has before.
