Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway. And I'm Jessica Tarliff. In today's episode of Raging Moderates, we're discussing Iran's new supreme leader and Trump's unclear endgame. If you aren't already, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube page to get up-to-date coverage on everything happening. All right, let's get into it. As the war with Iran enters week two, the situation is getting more complicated. Who would have thunk it, Jess? The U.S. and Israel say they're weakening Iran's missile capabilities, but the political and economic stakes are rising. Iran has installed Mojaveh Khamenei as the new supreme leader after Ali Khamenei was killed in early strikes, effectively turning the regime into a dynasty.
Meanwhile, casualties are rising, oil has surged past $100 a barrel, and there are growing questions about what Trump actually sees as the endgame. Jess, let's start with the leadership change in Tehran. Iran installing Mojaveh Khamenei, the son of the former Supreme Leader, is pretty extraordinary, given that the 1979 revolution was supposed to end dynastic rule. What does his elevation signal for Iran and the war? that we're not getting what we want. Even though the administration is out there grading it a 10 out of 15, he was literally the last choice. He wasn't even a choice, right? He wasn't on the list of people that we killed either in the first set of strikes or then when they met again and we killed another 40 or 45 potential leaders.
Donald Trump has acknowledged this, kind of making a joke out of it. But when you have... dynastic rule here and i mean i guess i should say like who cares if the rule from 1979 was that you weren't going to have dynasties i don't think anyone is playing by the rules in a theocracy like that um but the son is by all accounts more of a hardliner than the father which is a little difficult to imagine what that could possibly look like when you think about what's been going on in Iran. So mostly I ingest it as a reflection on how effective this campaign has been by the U.S. and Israel. And It also suggests that it is not going to be easy to get him out. Like, this is no Delcy Rodriguez, where you know everything about her.
