New Slogan on Iran Streets

This bit of news is interesting in that it reports on a new slogan being voiced on the streets on July 9th:
Mojtaba bemiri, rahbari-ro nagiri!
(roughly; 'die Mojataba, so you won't become the leader').

As reported, "During the past week, rumors have surfaced that [Mojtaba Khamenei, supreme leader's son] has taken over the pro-government Basij militia and that his father is grooming him to be the next supreme leader. Thursday marked the first time protesters chanted against him."
