Show Notes
U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran intensify, with lawmakers pushing for secret briefings in Washington. The future leadership of Iran is uncertain following reports of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneis death. A three-member council has been set up to handle things temporarily, but getting the Assembly of Experts together to pick a new Supreme Leader is challenging due to ongoing strikes. Top candidates for the position include Alireza Arafi, Mojtaba Khamenei, and Hassan Rouhani, ranging from hardliners to moderates. Regime change seems unlikely due to lack of protest wave, clear opposition leader, and the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iranian Americans and others abroad feel split on the strikes, with some seeing it as a shot at freedom and others worrying about innocent lives lost and craving stability.
