That will assuredly moderate the formerly too hardline personality for his father to consider. Oh, wait, it will do the opposite.

So he hates the US and Israel even more then?
Excellent, fantastic regime change guys

There’s no way this guy isn’t dead or in a coma, right? Sort of the perfect figurehead: ‘injuries’ and the risk of assassination mean he never has to appear or speak in public, while remaining a martyr or symbol for the duration of the conflict (and beyond, if necessary).

Thats why he hasn’t been parading around – hes disabled.
I would say those statements from him arent from him.

The clergy is losing power and the hardliner new generation of IRGC have become more dominant in the power structure of Iran

For a country that feels it won the war, it’s pretty fuckin weird their new supreme leader hasn’t shown his face once.
I’m inclined to believe this because Iran made hints about his medical condition early on. What I don’t understand is how this will possibly work out for them in the long run. Autocrats don’t really work without charisma and plastering their image everywhere. For a group as militaristic as the IRGC, will a crippled leader project the strength they would like to project? No way.
You’d almost think he was chosen for complete lack of a better option. If they unwittingly picked a dead guy, that would be crazy.

And his entire family was killed. I’m sure he’s not going to be well disposed toward the USA. I hope something productive will come out of negotiations regardless. Seems like a long shot, but at least people are talking, which is somewhat encouraging.

Ali Khamenei was injured in an assassination attempt in the 1980s and lost the use of one arm as a result. The injury became seen as a sign of his resilience, no doubt helpful for propaganda purposes. So the new guy being disfigured or physically disabled is unlikely to undermine his authority in Iran

So do the Iranian protest victims of the terrorist regime, those who survived. So do journalists in Iran who insult the terrorist regime.

This is the result of randomly bombing the fuck out of a country with no plan about what you are actually doing, while pivoting the media to your 4 Good Christians(tm) going around the moon to read from the motherfucking bible(tm) to distract from your Israel war and the Epstein pedo-files.
We are FINALLY great again.

I thought he was dead, and also in hospital in Russia, and also totally fine? Much like how Putin had ass cancer and Parkinson’s and ‘fell down stairs and shat himself’ several years ago and has been represented by body doubles ever since he died but is also totally fine and still alive now, Kadyrov died of liver failure and also died by drowning but is also still around, and Trump has dementia and has mini-strokes every couple of weeks but is still going strong.

Maybe he died and this is a way to buy time. Someone else chosen to have facial reconstruction appear like him and assume his role. It would help to maintain their story and his survival story/revenge to get more popularity for the cause.

Reminds me of the time reddit had a 100k upvoted newspost that claimed Kim Jong Un was in a vegitative state, and all the comments were swearing that the regime was using body doubles on state TV. Hope that isn’t the case here.
