Khamenei is dead. Good. But I have family in Iran. My dad is there right now. And I'm not celebrating yet. Here's why. Iran built the most layered contingency plan on Earth for this exact moment. Four levels of succession for every key position. Pre-authorized military strikes. Regional commanders who don't need orders from Tehran to act. As you read this, there is already a new Supreme Leader. We just don't know who. This isn't Maduro. The government didn't get overthrown. The system absorbed the hit. That's what it was designed to do. Every credible intel assessment says the same thing: a post-Khamenei Iran is more likely to get harder, not softer. More IRGC. More dangerous. Potentially worse for the Iranian people than Khamenei himself. Don't breathe yet. There's a long way to go.
