00:00As the likelihood of U.S. strikes on Iran grows, senior Iranian sources have revealed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
00:09has tasked Ali Larajani, one of his most trusted figures, with managing the country's affairs, in anticipation of any military
00:18confrontation or even an assassination attempt targeting him or his son, Mujtaba.
00:25Larajani, a former commander in the Revolutionary Guard, has effectively been overseeing sensitive political and security files since January, as
00:36protests erupted and threats escalated.
00:39To ensure regime continuity, Khamenei also issued directives establishing four layers of successors for every military and government post he
00:52personally appoints, while delegating decision-making authority to a small inner circle in case communications with him are cut.
01:02On the ground, Tehran has raised its forces to maximum alert and deployed ballistic missile platforms near its western borders
01:11and along its southern coastline.
01:14Caught between an expanding U.S. military buildup and upcoming nuclear talks in Geneva, Iran now appears trapped between two
01:23paths, preparing for a possible war or seizing a last diplomatic opportunity.
