Why Killing Khamenei Was a Bad Idea - Prof. Jiang Xueqin

World War III has begun with the United States and Israel attacking Iran. The initial strike involved the killing of the Iranian supreme leader, an event framed as martyrdom within the Shia Muslim faith, potentially fueling a religious war. Simultaneously, an attack on a school in Tehran, allegedly by Israelis, resulted in the deaths of many children, further provoking Iranian resistance. The Iranians retaliated by attacking the Gulf Coastal countries, including Dubai, impacting its reputation as a safe haven for wealth. Bahrain, home to the American Fifth Fleet and a significant Shia population, is anticipated to become a major conflict center, potentially igniting a Shia revolution.
