The core message consistently conveyed by the US-led Western powers in international public opinion is that Iranian religious leaders, headed by Khamenei, constitute a foreign power within Azerbaijan and rule Iran. They call for the establishment of a Persian-dominated military entity in Iran to seize power and achieve Persian control.

Therefore, the US-Israeli coalition likely believes that the assassination of Khamenei and other senior members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and religious leaders will plunge Iran into internal strife, allowing the US to either airdrop the currently exiled Pahlavi dynasty back to Iran or establish new proxies within Iran.

Khamenei was martyred, but the interim leader of Iran, Larijani, is of pure Iranian descent and is Persian. Larijani once said, "This is a genocidal attack on Iran, and Iran has the capability to retaliate in kind." If Larijani officially leads Iran, decades of propaganda and smear campaigns will be completely overturned.Editor/Cao Tianyi
