SAEDNEWS: A newly revealed photo of Seyed Hassan Khomeini’s private book sanctuary—complete with a framed portrait of Iran’s Supreme Leader and his daughter—offers an intimate window into the beloved grandson of the late Imam.
Sayyid Hassan Khomeini, born on 23 July 1972 in Qom, is the grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. A cleric since 1993, he became custodian of his grandfather’s mausoleum in 1995 and has since been known as a prominent religious and political figure with reformist leanings. Despite his deep-rooted revolutionary lineage, he has publicly criticized hardline policies, supported the Green Movement in 2009, and attempted to run for the Assembly of Experts in 2016, though he was disqualified by the Guardian Council. Regarded by many as a symbol of moderation, Hassan Khomeini remains a key figure in discussions about Iran’s political future and possible succession scenarios.
