BREAKING NEWS - Israeli media reports Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leader of Iran, was killed inside his bunker
This is a developing story. More to follow very soon EDIT Ayatollah Khamenei has been killed, a senior Israeli official just told journalists. Footage of Khamenei’s body was presented to Prime Minister Netanyahu. No official statement has been made.
Everything is still kind of unverified, but it sounds like they may have got a significant portion of the IRGC leadership too.
The popular voice right now seems to be the crown prince of the former Iranian monarchy.
Basically because there’s no obvious uniting figure, so they go with somebody irrelevant and inoffensive.
The US has opened a huge can of worms they have no interest in actually managing. This is going to be Syria but bigger and in an economically significant area.
The issue is this is all western propaganda. We can only judge by Iran’s response, and since they’re making a cohesive military counterattack by bombing US Bases, we can see the country hasn’t lost its leadership.
Trump attacking Iran is not going to go well. I believe Iran will win and the US will have wasted resources. Most importantly, the Iranians have closed the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has not been able to do that. So far we have seen low number of missiles attacking individual bases. Anybody including Iran knows that you want to launch as many missiles as possible at the same time against a target, so air defense can not deal with all of them. They have done that in the past, but not this time.
The other part is that Iran seems to know that a good number of Arab countries have closed their air space to the US. This includes the UAE. So there being Shahed attacks against Dubai is really really stupid from a strategic point of view. The UAE could easily allow them to actually use the air space or they even have a territorial conflict over some islands. It is not like Iran could do much, if the UAE took them back right now.
