Despite President Donald Trump's claims that the air war on Iran has ousted the regime, there is no indication that it has lost power, according to Western officials and experts. The U.S. and Israel have killed numerous senior figures in Iran's clerical regime, including former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, Ali Larijani, Mohammad Pakpour, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ministers of intelligence and defense, and a slew of other senior commanders. However, the regime shows no sign of unraveling and its successors are known as equally hard-line or more militant than their predecessors. It is unclear whether the administration has found a senior leader willing to compromise on the country's relationship with the U., as was the case with Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro. The most powerful arm of the regime appears to be in control and may be in a stronger position than before the conflict.
