Amidst reported airstrikes on Iranian leadership and facilities, discussions are intensifying regarding potential successors to the current regime. Experts are debating whether Iran's fractured opposition groups can unite to effectively lead if the government falls. Concerns are being raised about repeating past mistakes, such as a single figure consolidating power as in 1979.
