A Japanese-language Bloomberg profile of Mojtaba Khamenei that draws heavily on Sazegara's account. He says Mojtaba was the only one of Khamenei's four sons to pursue the theological credentials needed for leadership, that wartime friendships, including with Ghalibaf, still surround him, and that the political and military elite were deeply divided over his selection. He adds that Mojtaba spent years placing his own team in the intelligence and religious institutions and drawing in some of the country's corrupt oligarchs.
