【Khamenei is determined to die for the country, appointing a successor】 American troops are on the doorstep, and war is about to break out. According to The New York Times, Trump is inclined to launch the first strike in the coming days, while Khamenei has prepared for assassination, entrusting Ali Larijani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, as his successor. If an unexpected event occurs, this person will have full authority to command.
Khamenei and his son have been listed as targets for assassination, and they have made psychological preparations for a devastating strike. Iranians have learned from the painful experiences of Gaza and Hezbollah's annihilation, understanding that people can be eliminated, but the command structure must not be broken.
The report states that Khamenei has issued a series of instructions, setting up a four-tier succession system for each military and political position he has appointed, requiring all leadership positions to designate four successors.
At the same time, he has delegated decision-making power to a core circle of trusted confidants, so that the system can continue to operate even if communication is interrupted or he himself is assassinated.
Larijani, the potential successor, has come to light, with the purpose of ensuring that the regime can function under any circumstances, without falling into a state of no leadership.
The "apprentice leader" Larijani's responsibilities and areas of activity are evident. Recently, he has acted as Khamenei's representative to coordinate with Russia, Qatar, Oman, and to supervise the nuclear talks with the US. He is actually already in charge of issuing orders in the event of Khamenei's elimination.
It can be imagined that Larijani is not the only successor. According to the theory of a four-tier succession, there are at least three other successors who will complete the unfinished mission of Khamenei.
American aircraft carriers have gathered completely, and the intimidation tactics against Iran seem to have no effect. Iran is not intimidated by either soft or hard measures.
Iran is determined to go down fighting. Foreign Minister Alaghbari said that the US does not need to make any military deployment; such actions may scare others, but not Iran.
Iran's retaliation is destined to be a case of "fish dying and net breaking." Trump's so-called "initial, limited" strike is just self-justification.
When the first missile is launched toward Iran, how will Khamenei and his associates determine whether it is an "initial, limited" strike or an "ultimate, destructive" strike?
