Israeli prime minister, when he's given interviews this week, when he's given an address, he's been very careful not to contradict President Trump, especially on this sensitive issue of timelines. He knows the war is very unpopular with the US public. That said, you do detect in the media here some concern that public pressure could force the US basically to kind of leave this war sooner than Israel would like without a clear strategy, without really dealing a lasting blow to the Iranian regime.

President Trump keeps changing not just his narrative on what the end goal is for the United States president and commander in chief, but also keeps changing his narrative on what's happening on the ground. Our listeners will know that he's repeatedly said, oh, the war is almost over, we've destroyed Iran.

Ja muistakaa, että tämä on maa, jossa ei ollut mitään keskustelua mitään yksilöitä, paitsi Israelista. Ja kun Sirkir Stommer, joka aloitettiin välttämättä johtamaan maan yhdessä, tuli ja sanoi, että auttaisiin vahvasti. Ja hän sanoi, että ei.

We don't want people who join the war when it's already won. And now he's realizing, and it's extraordinary that this wasn't realized, wasn't made clear to him by his planners, that Iran had an ability to basically close off this strategic waterway, the Strait of Hormuz. There are some tankers which are still getting through, which underlines to you that there are others who are trying different ways around this crisis. For President Trump,

He now want a Hormuz coalition, as he calls it, and is ask countries. And in that way, he often menaces them that if NATO allies don't come to his aid, then there will be consequences. But you have on the other side, the Indian foreign minister, Jai Shankar,

who will join the EU meeting today to discuss this very issue of what they can and should do to try to get that strait open, has been saying, well, they're talking to Iran and they managed to get two Indian flag gas tankers through the strait this weekend. Turkey has also been talking to Iran. They managed to get a bulk carrier through. Of course, these are exceptions. This is not the bulk of the traffic, but we do also hear reports that other countries are

puhutaan Iranista, mutta presidentti Trump haluaa, että kaupungit sopivat häneen vaarassa, jossa, kuten sanoin, hän ei saanut selvää, mitä kaupungin yleinen tavoite on. Ja ei ole myös selvää, mitä vaara on Hormuzin rannassa. Hänen esityksensä Finanssiaalitilanteessa hän sanoi myös, että hän haluaa vahvistaa joitain huonoja aktoreita Iranin rannalla. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että moni muu muu maa olisi tullut vahvistamassa tätä vaaraa.

Tämä on mielenkiintoinen aspekti tästä sotilasta. Se on ainoa asia, josta voin muistaa. Meillä on kaksi yksilöä, amerikkalaiset ja iranilaiset, jotka puhuvat yhdessä sosiaalisessa mediassa. Presidentin Trumpi sanoo jotain hänen oikeuksieni sosiaalisessa jaksossaan. Iran laittaa takaisin, ja sitten Amerikassa presidentin Trumpin, mutta myös hallituksen jäsenet.

Kiitos, että katsoitte.

Under the constitution, there is a three-person, three-man leadership council, which is now in place.

The president, the head of the judiciary, hardline president of the judiciary, and a senior cleric from the guardian council.

They will oversee the running of the Islamic Republic while the assembly of experts.

selects a new leader.

And we do know that last year, even before the 12-day war against Israel, which drew in the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei, knowing that he was in the sights of Israel and America, his implacable enemies, had said to the Assembly of Exers, draw up a list.

So there is no, we don't know exactly who is on the list, but it's believed that Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Moshe Taba, is one of them.

So a list is ready.

So we expect that in a few days' time,

And once the Assembly of Experts, which is about 88 senior clerics, carefully vetted in the same mold, more or less, as Ayatollah Khamenei, once they choose, he will have all the authority and legitimacy, at least of that body.

Now, of course, it comes at a time when the regime is under unprecedented criticism at home and abroad.

There will be those who will be looking not just for cracks in
