Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been shown an image of his body after it was recovered from the compound in Tehran. Khamenei’s killing was the second top leader of Iran to be eliminated in military operations by the US-Israel combine, without a designated successor in sight. The loss of the top leadership of Iran could throw Tehran into chaos, as doubts emerged over whether the rest of the second-run Iranian leadership could hold the nation together and find the means to elect their next Supreme Leader, who had political, religious, and temporal roles to play.
