So Khamenei has officially been confirmed to be dead by Iranian state media. That would be no great loss, except that Khamenei was 86, and there are always successors, and there will be an election by the Council of Experts, the governing body of Iran. Possible successors include Khamenei's son, Mojitaba Khamenei, and Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, and Sadiq Larijani, the former chief justics.
The U.S., of course, would rather hand the country over to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late shah.
