[Iran will never trust america again] With America injecting itself into the Israel-Iran war, the days of Iran engaging in any negotiating talks with America are gone. With America, launching over 30 Tomahawk missiles from submarines 400 miles away from Iran and deploying B-2 stealth bombers which dropped 6 Bunker-Buster bombs (largest bombs in America arsenal) all of which targeted Iranian nuclear sites made for a recipe of both political and diplomatic disaster. Although America’s strikes were largely executed to appease the Israeli’s, America's actions have created a new normal within Iran and that is to never trust America.

With this new normal comes Iran refusing to comply with the draconian demands of America and the collective west in terms of not enriching uranium to the point that it becomes weapons grade. While prior to American strikes on Iran nuclear sites, Iran has always insisted that they only sought to enrich uranium for peaceful and national energy purposes; now that narrative has changed; and so, will the leadership of Iran and with that the “New Boss” may be more bullish than the “Old Boss”. What we mean by this is that currently, there is talk within the government of Iran of a possible “changing of the guards” or succession and the newcomer may possibly take a much more aggressive stance on america and the Colletive West.

Currently Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is being shielded in an underground bunker due to fears of a possible assassination attempt by Israel. However, the one thing that Israel is failing to understand is that if Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is assassinated, the next Iranian leader in succession may be more of a nightmare for them than Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could ever be. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for “regime change” in Iran coupled with the fact that America can’t tell Israel “No”, the opportunity to find a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will only be open for a short time.

With Iran, there is a growing faction within its government that takes the position that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has grown too soft when it comes to dealing with the American’s and Israel and that more aggressive measures should be taken to stop Israel and America from degrading Iranian interest and Iranian society. One of those is Iranian interest in the construction of a nuclear weapon. While Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has incorporated a “Fatwa”, there's a growing faction within the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) and Iranian government that are calling for the dismissal of the imposed Fatwa. It should be known that the Assembly of Experts, a collection of 88 senior clerics alone, can select a Supreme Leader. The question is: who is being considered as Iran's next Supreme Leader and what stance will he take on Israel and America?
