Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly drawn up contingency plans in case he is targeted in a possible US or Israeli strike, according to a New York Times report. The plans include naming layers of successors and delegating decision-making powers to a small inner circle if communications are disrupted. Longtime loyalist Ali Larijani is said to be overseeing key state affairs during the crisis. The developments come as US President Donald Trump weighs military options and pushes Tehran to reach a nuclear deal. With Geneva talks resuming, tensions remain high amid fears over Iran’s nuclear programme and continued domestic unrest.
