"Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir suggested the figure chosen to succeed the supreme leader would most probably be someone opposed by Washington.

He said the "Great Satan" " Iran's term for the US " had inadvertently done the assembly "a kind of service" by publicly criticising certain candidates. His remarks appeared to refer to comments by Donald Trump, who said it would be unacceptable for clerics to select Khamenei's son Mojtaba as successor.

"Someone opposed by the enemy is more likely to benefit Iran and Islam," Heidari Alekasir said."

Could be Reich Marshall of Havana too, but I think that's Little Marco's gig.
