Exclusive: Tehran Academic Foad Izadi Defends Iran As War Fears Rise After Supreme Leader’s Death

Описание: In this exclusive conversation, Dr. Fahad Izadi, professor at the University of Tehran, shares Iran’s perspective following the reported killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes. Speaking amid ongoing bombardment and rising regional tensions, Izadi describes scenes of mass public mourning across Iranian cities, claiming millions gathered despite security risks and attacks.

According to Izadi, the strikes have triggered a “rally around the flag” effect, strengthening national unity rather than weakening the Iranian state. He argues that while political disagreements exist within Iranian society, foreign military action has intensified public anger against the United States and Israel.

The interview also addresses claims of internal divisions, economic distress, protests, and criticism of Iran’s regional policies. Izadi rejects allegations of regime instability, insisting constitutional mechanisms are in place to ensure leadership transition following Khamenei’s death. He maintains that Iran sought diplomacy but was forced into confrontation after repeated attacks.

As missile exchanges expand across the region and fears of wider conflict grow, the discussion explores whether Iran is preparing for a prolonged war and what role countries like India could play in de-escalation. The conversation offers insight into how Iranian officials and academics interpret one of the most dangerous crises in West Asia in decades.
