Israel's Strategic Goal: Leave Iran Without a Functioning Successor
מוג'תבא נשאר בלי חלופה שלטונית: המטרה הישראלית ברצף החיסולים
Summary
The assassination of Ali Larijani signals that Israel is deliberately seeking to leave Iran without a functional leadership or succession structure. While Israeli assessments suggest Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, he is believed to be not in effective control of affairs. Larijani, who had opposed Mojtaba's rise and served as a counterweight to him, has now been eliminated — fundamentally altering Iran's internal power dynamics.
