Inside Iran’s “After Khamenei” War Plan
Even in death, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is directing Iran’s retaliation, the Financial Times reported.
A regime insider reveals that the supreme leader and his top commanders devised a detailed plan after Israel’s June war to sow chaos across the Middle East and pressure the US and Israel to halt their attack.
The strategy includes targeting energy facilities, disrupting air travel, and striking hotels and ports across the Gulf.
Despite losing Khamenei and at least half a dozen top military officials in Saturday’s strikes, the plan is being executed.
Drones have hit Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery and Qatar’s LNG facilities, forcing the world’s top gas supplier to halt production.
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a halt, spiking oil and gas prices.
The regime has decentralized military command, with forces acting on pre-set instructions.
Hezbollah is launching missiles at Israel, Iraqi militias are targeting US bases, and hotels in Dubai are now considered targets.
Gulf states that once pushed for diplomacy are caught in the crossfire.
