A New York Times report claims that following Israel's assassination of Iran's political leadership led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, power did not pass to his designated successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, but to a collective leadership of IRGC commanders. The report alleges Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously wounded in the February 28 strike and requires surgery, leaving him not fully capable. It further states that the assassination of Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani has created a 'big problem' for Israel and the US, as there is currently no one to negotiate with, and the IRGC is prepared to fight to the last.
