Shakes the regime Iranian? Perhaps. According to what Axios writes, in fact, Donald Trump And Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would secretly try to organize a meeting between high US officials and Iranians in Istanbul. However, the meeting would jump because of the non -go -ahead of Wings Khamenei: The supreme guide of Iran, in fact, would be “unobtainable”, hidden in a bunker for fear of being murdered. Not only that. According to NYT, Ayatollah would have appointed three high officials as successors in the event of his assassination. To appoint the new supreme guide between the three candidates, in the event of his death, would be the assembly of experts, an ecclesiastical organ. His son Mojtaba, often indicated as possible heir, and the former Iranian president Ibrahim Raisi, who died in 2024, do not appear among the candidates.
Khamenei hidden in a bunker
Ali Khamenei, an 86 -year -old Iranian supreme guide, decided to retire to a bunker to protect himself from growing Israeli attacks. From there, he limited communications to his closest collaborators, completely suspending the use of electronic devices. Meanwhile, Tehran was hit hard, with bombings on military and civil infrastructures which caused hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. To communicate with the military commanders, according to the American newspaper, would be a “trusted collaborator” to the knowledge “of the emergency war plans” designed by Khamenei.
Jump the US-Iran meeting: Khamenei “Unavailable”
As mentioned, these days loaded with voltage, an important meeting expected between the United States and Iran in Istanbul has skipped. Sources close to the dossier attribute the failure of the meeting to the absence of Khamenei, called “unattainable”. According to some rumors, the Iranian supreme guide would have hidden for security reasons, making any form of direct dialogue impossible. This meeting should have marked a possible approach between Washington and Tehran, but the war context made all the type of diplomatic opening impractical.
The impact of the conflict is not limited to military fronts. In Tehran, the population is facing difficult conditions. Many public hotels and structures have been converted into safe shelters, while the shops ration the resources to support those who are in difficulty the supreme guide, meanwhile, recorded two public messages, reiterating that Iran “will not surrender to a imposed war”.
