A major political situation is unfolding in Iran after the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The biggest question now is who will take over Iran’s leadership. For the moment, Iran has decided not to announce a new Supreme Leader and has instead formed an interim leadership council to manage the country’s affairs. Officials say the announcement has been delayed due to security concerns. Earlier, names like Alireza Arafi and Mojtaba Khamenei were being discussed as possible successors. However, the decision has reportedly been postponed after warnings from the United States and Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump had said that whoever becomes Iran’s next Supreme Leader could become a target if the decision is made without U.S. consideration. Meanwhile, Iran has also decentralized its military command, allowing the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to operate independently across provinces. Reports from Tehran indicate that the interim council has already held several meetings to decide the next leader. Experts believe the ongoing war and international pressure will play a key role in determining Iran’s future leadership.
