Who Will Replace Larijani? The Question That Should Worry Everyone
השאלה שצריכה להטריד - מי ימלא את מקומו של לריג'אני
Summary
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.
