Summary
As “Operation Epic Fury” continues, Iran and its proxies are expanding their response as they fire missiles at Israel and the Arab states. When news broke Saturday that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had been killed, one person in Tehran responded: “I think the Middle East has become a better place. Even [the] world has become a better place now.” We can be grateful that he can no longer terrorize his own people and the world. But there is another dimension to Khamenei’s death that we should consider as well, one that far transcends the geopolitics of the moment.
