What followed was not merely retaliation but a reckoning — missiles falling across the region, soldiers and civilians alike counted among the dead, and a ceasefire arrived at not through resolution but exhaustion.

Elimination of Khamenei creates succession uncertainty in Iran, potentially weakening hardline factions.
