Amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, Iranian officials are discussing the possible succession of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is in hiding amid fears of attacks. Although talks had previously been under way, US attacks on nuclear facilities have accelerated plans. The two potential successors, Mojtaba Khamenei and Hassan Khomeini, have clerical support but different visions for Iran's future. Russia expresses support for Iran, warning of destabilization in the region.
