The ongoing elimination of senior figures in Iran's political and security leadership risks deepening fractures within the Iranian regime. However, analysts warn that the assassination of Ali Larijani could paradoxically strengthen the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which had already gained influence prior to his death. His removal may benefit Mojtaba Khamenei, who has close ties with the IRGC, further consolidating the Guards' grip on power.

The assassination of Ali Larijani signals that Israel is deliberately seeking to leave Iran without a functional leadership or succession structure.

US intelligence assesses that the Iranian regime will survive the American and Israeli military strikes and emerge stronger and more assertive, according to the Washington Post. The Revolutionary Guards are expected to consolidate power, and Mojtaba Khamenei is seen as likely to serve as a partner figure rather than an authoritative leader like his father. An Iranian regime opponent warned that while Israeli strikes on the Basij are encouraging, the prospect of living under this regime after the war is deeply frightening.
