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

A recording obtained by the British Telegraph reveals that Mojtaba Khamenei, heir apparent to the Supreme Leader, survived the opening strike of the war only because he had stepped outside for a walk in the courtyard moments before the missile hit.
