Very insightful. If Iran goes down the Bonapartist path, whom among Shamkhani and Ghalibaf do you think will come out on top? Or any other figure in your opinion?

Thank you! It is difficult to tell, as it depends on many factors, mainly whether it will amount to “Bonapartism” in the exact sense of the word, i.e., personal rule, or rather a collective, security-dominated council of some sort.

Interesting. I hope in future you cover other important players/factions

Will survival of any Iranian leadership be dependent on Religious, Military or Economic grounds? Where is a potential Leader leading the general population to?
