Khamenei Names Three Senior Clerics As Possible Replacements Should He Be Killed by fennels007(op): 2:08pm On Jun 21, 2025
Khamenei has made a selection of replacements down his chain of military command in case more of his lieutenants are killed, according to the report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has named three senior clerics as candidates to succeed him should he be killed during the ongoing conflict with Israel, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The New York Times also wrote that he has also made the "unusual decision" to instruct Iran's Assembly of Experts, which is tasked with appointing a supreme leader, to choose his successor from the three names he provided.

Khamenei has made a selection of replacements down his chain of military command in case more of his lieutenants are killed, according to the report.
Top Iranian officials are also reportedly quietly making preparations for a wide range of outcomes as the war continues, including the possible entry of the US into the fray.

Talks about who would succeed Khamenei as Iran's leader were held confidentially by diplomats from Europe and the United States, speaking theoretically about a scenario where the Islamic Republic would collapse, CBS News learned on Friday.
The diplomats had also discussed whether Iranian nuclear sites could be secured, and the environmental consequences for their allies in the region as a result of attacking nuclear facilities like Fordow.
Khamenei has been hiding since Israel's exchange of missiles with Iran broke out one week ago, with US President Donald Trump saying on Tuesday that the US knows exactly where he is. The Iranian leader is also believed to be battling cancer, the report noted, and cited an assessment by US intelligence that concluded Khamenei hasn't resumed his country's nuclear weapons program, which halted operations in 2003.
International calls and internet connection in Iran have notably weakened due to the current conflict, CBS cited regional sources as saying, adding that diplomats have raised complaints that arranging meetings with Abbas Araghchi, the country's foreign affairs minister, has become more difficult. Khamenei is also reportedly concerned about communicating with other officials due to concerns of signal interception to reveal his location, the report added.
These reports come shortly after Araghchi met with European counterparts in Geneva the same day, in a meeting that lasted twice as long as expected, CBS reported

The guy sees the futility in their defense, but still wants to keep in on living in after life. Guy leave nukes and terrorism, then Israel will get bored of coming for your life.

killing Khamenei is never the solution, they should kill the root source.

Weather you like it or not war is not a good thing...Some of us will just take sides without counting the cost..if we have our loved ones In any of the country can we still say the same thing...I remembered when Russia and Ukraine started a friend left Ukraine to Nigeria.Why didn't he leave Ukraine for Russia because Russia is more powerful than Ukraine?Reason because in war there are casualties from both sides...As powerful as USA, when The US Army entered Somalia for an operation the US suffered heavy casualty. The soldiers suffer for it.....Stop the war...

The deaths that have happened; they had to happen, the deaths that will happen; they have to happen.


Only if humanity knows that we are better off without wars.
