US Intelligence: Iranian Regime Will Survive — and Emerge Bolder
ההערכה בארה"ב: המשטר האיראני ישרוד - ויהפוך "נועז" יותר
Summary
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.
