Kashayar Junaidi

For 36 years, his will was what was implemented.

No matter elections, parliamentary elections, a president, all of them were second to him.

So he was the most important person in the country.

And he had a, according to the constitution of the Islamic Republic, he had a high religious as well as high political standing.

And nobody was above him.

He was above the law.

And many people,

were not happy with the way the country moved forward during his reign.

And the result of that dismay and that resentment was the uprisings, was the protests in January, which were heavily crushed.

So Khamenei's last chapter of his reign will be remembered as a bloody chapter in which thousands of people were killed on the streets of Tehran and other cities across the country, people who were not happy with their economic situation.

And now the chants you are hearing now, these are the people which will remember Khamenei

Not by what happened during these 36 years, but by the crackdown on the protesters.

Who is in charge of the country at the moment?

We still don't know.

Look, considering the standards of the Islamic Republic, the announcement of Khamenei's death

was faster than usual.

36 years ago, when his predecessor Ayatollah Khomeini died, they waited till 7 in the morning to announce his death.

Khamenei's death has been announced 5 in the morning.

That shows that they have some confidence about the succession structure.

The designation has probably been made, but in secret.
