Let’s see if this leads to 1) a planned succession, like in Venezuela, 2) a secular, Ataturk-style revolution, or 3) complete civilizational collapse in Iran. I would give it 90/10/0.01 percent odds for those three possibilities.

Will the IRGC sink ships in the Strait of Hormuz? Will they set the Saudi oil fields ablaze? All I know is that somewhere in hell, Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger are smiling up at us.

    The Iranians wouldn’t know if he’s dead, that’s the point of keeping his location secret.

    Personally I hope he’s dead and replaced with someone who believes in nuclear sovereignty.

      Incredibly disrespectful to wish him dead, despite any positives you might imagine coming from it. An entire country is mourning but at least you got your wish, right?
