The news just got confirmed that supreme leader of Iran Ali Khamenei is dead. The news has been confirmed by Iran state media.

This explains the Iranian reaction of why all the neighbouring countries having US bases were attacked, it was due to the fact that Khamenei was dead.

There were celebrations in many parts of Iran, many saw these strikes as their sign of liberation by greater powers like Israel and USA.

Iran's future still remains uncertain with one thing confirmed that Pro-US and Pro-Israel consensus to increase, but still to what extent.

What do you think? Let me know.

What I want to say is that Khamenei was neither universally loved nor universally hated. Iran, like any society, is multifaceted.

I think that dismissing the joy parts of Iran felt after Khamenei died as mere propaganda is dumb. And labeling all of these people as Mossad agents or dumb imperialists is also dumb. To me and the Iranians I know, it's good that he died. The way he died isn't good, the intervention isn't good, does that make me an imperialist?
