The Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
A group of influential Iranian figures is secretly planning a future without supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei-at a time when recent US military attacks intensify conversations about Iran’s leadership and direction.
A clandestine group of Iran figures, consisting of entrepreneurs, political and military personalities, and relatives of high -ranking clerics, began to formulate plans to Governing Iran without its Supreme Leader86 years old.
Plans for a future without Ayatollah Ali khamenei They began to be approached even before Saturday to Iranian facilities, says Iranian-Canadian writer and historian Azizi in an article no.
The “conspirators” are considering several possible scenarios, which involve Both natural death of Khamenei as its removal of power through political pressureDiz Agents.
Under the Iranian Constitution, the Wise assemblybody composed of 88 clerics in the top of the country’s hierarchy, I would need to vote to dismiss Khamenei.
However, conspirators recognize that promoting such a vote under current circumstances may be unfeasible. Instead, they visualize a scenario where internal figures could Press Khamenei to transfer the real power for a temporary substitute.
The solution proposed by the conspirator group to replace Khamenei – which in the meantime will already – involves establishing a high -ranking staff leadership committee who would take control of the country and negotiate with the United States the end of Israeli attacks.
The former president, although not directly involved in the discussions, is being considered for a fundamental role in this committee.
According to well -positioned sources, he had revealed Azizi, some military officials within the group kept regular contact with homologous of an important Gulf country, seeking support to change the leadership structure and trajectory of Iran.
The conspirators shared these details, says Azizi, in order to evaluate the Regional and International Response to your plans.
“Teuão is now full of such conspiracies“Says one of the group members.“ They are also talking to Europeans about the future of Iran. Everyone knows that the days of Khamenei are numbered. Even if you remain in office, you will not have real power. ”
The recent American bombing of Iranz nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan created mixed reactions between conspirators.
While a source suggests that attacks increased their hypotheses of marginalizing Khamenei, another is less optimistic about ensuring peace with the US and Israel.
The attacks created a Battle of narratives between Washington and Tehran. The president Trump claims to have “obliterate” the nuclear program of Iran, while Iranian employees minimize the damage, stating that they had already repositioned nuclear materials and that the attacks failed to penetrate fortified places.
Os Iranian circles near the regime were divided in two fields after the attacks. Some prefer that the Will negotiate an agreement with Trumpeven if it means abandoning Khamenei. Others believe that Iran must retaliateto prevent inaction from being understood as an invitation to more aggressions.
The Iranian Security Specialist Mostafa Najafi provides that Iran will answer militarily, potentially widening the conflictand emphasizes that, despite the Israelite attacks, Iran keeps considerable capabilities of missiles and drones and has a Vast experience in asymmetrical war.
Iran’s response options are however at this point quite limitedsays Azizi. THE Hezbollah showed little interest in joining the Iran’s struggle, while Iraq’s election campaign makes its militias pro-fear reluctant to drag the country for new conflicts.
Iran face a critical choice now: Expand the war and risk antagonizing the Gulf countries that houses American bases, or seek a historical commitment to the US, abandoning decades of hostility.
While Khamenei’s leadership faces unprecedented challenges, the Iranian elites increasingly question whether ayatollah should be removed – so that it is possible to follow any of the ways ahead.
