The Big Bad Witch is Dead! Now Who Will Lead Iran?

USA and Israel have complete control of the Iranian skies.  Ayatollah and at least 40 top leaders are dead. 40,000 Iranian protesters were killed by the regime 7 weeks ago.  Celebrations are happening all over Iran and all over the world, led by Iranians who escaped the brutal Islamic regime.

But will peace and democracy sweep over Iran?  Or will the demons of Islam come crawling out from under every rock and say, “we aren’t going down in Iran without taking everybody down!”

Remember that there are millions of new Christians in Iran.  Jesus has appeared to a lot of them in dreams and visions.  So let’s pray continuously for these people.  This is mainly a spiritual battle.

USA and Israel gave the Iranians a chance to rise up and put together a free government, but there is no guarantee that will happen.

 DUBAI, March 1 (Reuters) - The assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneihas plunged the Islamic Republic into its most perilous crisis since the 1979 revolution - confronting it with war on its own territory, an unresolved succession, and mounting internal strain.

Despite the shock of Khamenei's killing, five regional officials and analysts cautioned against assuming rapid collapse. Iran's political order, they said, was deliberately constructed to avoid reliance on a single leader, dispersing authority across clerical institutions, the security apparatus and power networks.

"The Iranian system is bigger than one man - removing Khamenei could harden the regime rather than weaken it," said Danny Citrinowicz of the Atlantic Council.

"Iran was built to survive the loss of a leader," added Ali Hashem, a research affiliate at Royal Holloway, University of London. "The danger is not a vacuum. It's whether war and pressure push the system past the point where that resilience holds."

At the centre of that resilience is the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), long regarded as Iran's true centre of gravity. The balance of power now hinges on whether the Guards emerge weakened by battlefield losses and internal frictions - or more entrenched, closing ranks around a harder, more security-driven approach to governance.
