The Domino Effect of Haniyeh’s Death on Iran’s Stability and Influence After Haniyeh’s assassination, the critical question is what decision Khamenei will make and which direction he will take.

If Khamenei doesn’t respond properly, everyone will see how weak his regime is, leading to scandal and shame. This will make things even worse for Khamenei, causing more problems and divisions within the regime. People will start to believe more in the possibility of uprisings and protests. In the region, proxy forces will lose trust in the regime and no longer see Khamenei as reliable. Additionally, the people of Gaza will feel betrayed by Khamenei, realizing he sacrificed Palestine to save his regime. If Khamenei reacts, given the regime’s weakness, he will sink into a quagmire from which he cannot easily escape. Struggling in this predicament will drain the regime’s remaining strength, weakening it and activating the cycle of uprisings. Naturally, Khamenei will attempt to create a facade with noise and empty slogans, trying to appear responsive while avoiding a serious and prolonged reaction.

It stands to reason. War is the health of the state. Khamenei will try to exploit this perceived indignity agaist his own people.

Of course the true indignity is playing host to a bloodthirsty, grifting terrorist. That indignity has been surgically removed.

That’s a win-win for Israel. The fascists and tyrants of the world need to realize they can’t defeat the Jews for the same reason they hate them; the Jews are way ahead of them.

Mossad won’t plant a horse head in his bed, instead it will be a couple of pounds of gelignite. Just enough so they’ll collect the remains with tweezers.

I didn't read it what it says because in all of the excerpt there is not a single quotation mark. Dammit, I expect to be informed as to what she said near the beginning of the article.

The Iranians have to be very careful not to over-react. If they provoke Israel into destroying their oil infrastructure gasoline prices in the U.S. could surge yet further.

That would likely mean defeat for Harris and the return of President Trump.

That is the last thing Iran wants. The best thing they can do is to just run their mouth and sit on their hands.

The last overreaction was a massive failure that showed the world how weak Iran really is. It possibly emboldened Israel.(it is amazing that they could plant a bomb in his room). Iran’s strength seemed to be its proxies, and Israel is in the process of defanging them.
