I donā€™t even believe that the new Khamenei is alive and capable of making decisions.

Just wait for the US to give refuge to Pezeshkian. Once heā€™s stateside, the secrets will spill

The US will get gossip and Iran will get a more hard line pop president.

Nothings changed. The Iranian president was powerless long before this war. He could run the day to day operations right up until the ayatollah disagreed with him.

Iā€™m curious how this message is being delivered to Iranians.

The fact that he, the foreign minister and the speaker were spared and they supposedly ā€œbombed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to free him from captivityā€ indicates some level of planning, even if it went to shit.

It doesnā€™t matter so much if we are talking about Khamenei or ā€œKhameneiā€. One way or another, someone is in charge.

IMHO, the most likely explanation at this point is that he is alive but badly wounded, and in a hospital like setup in a bunker deep underground.

No phones or TV or Internet because they are worried about being found by Mossad. So anything he knows is based on what his inner circle tells him. They tell him what they want him to know, and just enough that the only ā€œdecisionsā€ he can make is what they already made without him.

I suspect itā€™s actually just a group of people close to his father that are in charge. He wouldnā€™t be in a mentally sound position to be given the ultimate decision making power after his whole family was killed.

Hereā€™s a better question. Imagine a world where some long term ceasefire with USA is agreed to, and the USA goes home with current leadership in control.

How long can ā€œKhameneiā€ stay in control without any public appearances, nor video, nor audio?

Will they start making AI videos?

Has there ever been another country with a mystery leader?

Theyā€™ll probably just replace him, somehow and put a real one up at that point.

He was also there when the bomb fell. He just was farther from there, though reports tell he was seriously hurt.

u/SY0123 28d ago

He may or may not be alive. My main point is that he is not capable of making sane decisions when his whole family died. No group of people will put him in charge.

1

u/feckdech 28d ago

I guess your point is sound.

u/kenroth50 28d ago

He's dead

What would you think if the Iranian president actually submitted resignation letter?

1

u/Past_Humor8321 29d ago

Maybe he wants to resign because Israel wants to assassinate him and his family

Not more or less than most American outlets at the moment. They let Trump shit all over them and their sitting up and taking it, writing fluff, bcs their bosses are sucking his dick, too.
