First and last name[edit]

Hello. Muhammad is the written and spoken form in Arabic countries, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. But he is Iranian. In Iran it's written and spoken as Mohammad. Also, Mukhbar is wrong for the same reason (and 'a' should be 'e' here). So, it should be Mokhber. Aminabzz (talk) 17:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having had a look at reliable sources (of which there are many today), the correction as suggested seems to be correct. I'll move the article. Schwede 66 03:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that this has just been moved to the current name. I'd say it needs more input in that case. LolingTom, a birth certificate is NOT what we would base this on. We go by what reliable sources say. Schwede 66 03:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I shall reinstate the article name to Mohammad Mokhber. This can be further discussed but to avoid disruption, I will move protect the title for a fortnight as it will likely be posted to the main page. Schwede 66 05:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm?[edit]

The page says;

“Following the death of President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi HY"D that was caused by Israeli Terrorist Forces, he has assumed the role of acting president of Iran.”

Let’s keep a cool head, shouldn’t we… PanchoVdk (talk) 10:59, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He should still be listed as the incumbent First VP[edit]

when an official assumes a higher office in acting capacity, they do so by virtue of the office they hold at the time; he should still be listed as VP, since he's the VP acting as President. 24.151.14.67 (talk) 16:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, isn't it because he's the primary veep, that he's acting president? GoodDay (talk) 21:54, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth in dispute[edit]

Hi, the article cites a non-English source (Farsi?) to corroborate the DOB of June 26, 1955.

However, today Reuters reports that his DOB is September 1st, 1955 (info captured at 16:52 PM EDT).

Should a note or label be added that mentions that this statistic is in doubt?
