The Death of Ayatollah Khamenei & The Future of Iran

With missiles streaking across Middle Eastern skies and the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader sending shockwaves through the region, Aimen joins Thomas from a Dubai under fire to unpack a historic turning point.

They discuss:

• Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile strikes across the GCC and Israel
• Life under bombardment in Dubai and the regional military response
• The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei and what it means for Iran’s future
• Whether this war marks the death of the 1979 Islamic Revolution
• The internal dynamics of the Iranian regime at this critical moment
• The United States’ strategic calculus and the question of escalation
