In a surprising show of allegiance, Hamas condemned Khamenei's killing as a "heinous crime," urging Iran to refrain from aggressive actions towards its neighbors.
War analyst Robert Pape warns that the U.S. may face serious challenges under former President Trump's leadership, with a significant risk of a ground war due to Iran's concealed nuclear assets.
Amidst this turmoil, questions arise about the capabilities of Iran’s new leader, whose health status—reported as "injured but functioning"—leaves many wondering who truly holds power.
The lack of public appearances from Iran's new leadership has sparked concerns over transparency and control within the government, fueling speculation about its direction.
