A new Supreme Leader at this time of high tension could lead to ‘widespread public protests,” as the story below notes, or even the toppling of the Islamic regime, which likely will soon not be able to count on Old Joe Biden and his henchmen to prop it up with another few billion dollars.

Iran Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a coma? Everything about succession plans amid clashes with Israel

Mint, November 17, 2024:

…According to reports, Tehran secretly picked its successor in late September — with the ailing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei possibly abdicating before his death. An Iran International report suggests that his son Mojtaba Khamenei will assume the top role while his father is alive.

60 members of the Iranian Assembly of Experts reportedly met in secrecy on September 26 in acquiescence to a demand by Khamenei. They were ordered to take a decision on the succession immediately and with utmost confidentiality. The candidate and procedure were both met with resistance and reports suggest that Khamenei and his representatives also issued direct threats. The need for secrecy was also fuelled by the possiblity of widespread public protests.

A New York Times report on October 27 also backed the assertion — claiming that Khamenei was suffering from a major medical condition and reiterating claims that his son Mojtaba would become the successor….

Resisting the urge to celebrate, I rather suggest that we pray for the Ayatollah, that he would have a Close Encounter of the God Kind that would open his eyes to the evil he has committed and encouraged for most of his life. 

It will be interesting to see the reaction in the streets of Tehran when, and if, they announce his death.
