Iran’s next chapter: succession, conflict or regime change

UANI Senior Advisor Saeid Golkar writes: Less than two months after the Islamic Republic killed thousands of Iranians who opposed the regime during a nationwide uprising, the country faces another existential crisis. On 28th February, the United States and Israel launched a coordinated military strike against Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, along with more than 40 senior commanders from Iran’s military and security institutions. The strikes also targeted strategic facilities connected to Iran’s nuclear enrichment and missile programmes, significantly weakening the regime’s long-term military capabilities.
