Washington: The US and Israel have been attacking Iran for the past 13 days. Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed early in the war, but the country's people still maintain their faith in their leadership. This has even been acknowledged by US agencies themselves. US intelligence sources say there is no sign of the Iranian government collapsing at this time.
This is because the government still maintains its hold on the people. Three US intelligence sources stated that the Iranian leadership maintains its hold on the people. This means that Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been accepted by the people.
Sources said that US intelligence agencies have gathered this information in the past few days. Global oil prices have risen sharply, and gas is also becoming scarce. Perhaps with this in mind, the US claims that they can end the war soon. But perhaps it's the passion of Iran's leadership, or the public support it's garnering, that makes it clear that even though America started the war, we will end it. It's interesting that Iran's top leaders have been killed. Yet, the public has not only accepted its new leadership but also stands by it.
This is significant because America hoped that after Khamenei's death, the Iranian people would take to the streets. Then, in the name of restoring democracy, it would intervene and hand over the reins to someone close to it. Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi also had such hopes, but the public has accepted Khamenei's son as the leader. This situation exists despite the US continuing to attack and Mujtaba himself being in danger.
Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the very first day of the war, and his funeral has not yet taken place.
It should be noted that Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the very first day of the war. His funeral has not been held since then. It is believed that millions will gather for this funeral prayer. This is why the Iranian leadership is avoiding burying him for now. If such an event were to occur, the US and Israel could once again cause significant devastation. Sources say that Khamenei's funeral will likely be held only if conditions for a ceasefire are established.
