Legal Literacy - News regarding the United States' airstrike hitting the heart of Tehran's defense is no longer just political bluff, but a projectile that has been launched and cannot be retracted. However, this escalation reached its critical point when the attack reportedly claimed the life of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In my eyes, this is not just a regular military operation; this is the fall of the first domino that will trigger a series of crisis explosions in all corners of the earth.

The death of a Supreme Leader through foreign military intervention is the most extreme scenario in the modern diplomacy dictionary. For Iran, Khamenei is a spiritual symbol as well as an anchor of political and military stability. I see that the death of the leader will not make Tehran kneel or trigger an internal rebellion that benefits the West. On the contrary, this will give birth to what I call "Martyr Nationalism." The sudden power vacuum will actually accelerate the consolidation of radical forces within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to launch symmetrical revenge, transforming Iran from a rational state actor into an entity that moves on the basis of a very deep ideological wound.
