Khamenei’s Inner Circle Diminishes Amid Israeli Strikes

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is facing an unprecedented challenge as his closest military and security advisers have been systematically eliminated by Israeli airstrikes. The loss of key figures, including Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami and aerospace chief Amir Ali Hajizadeh, has left significant gaps in Iran’s strategic decision-making.
