Iran leader Khamenei sees his inner circle hollowed out by Israel

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is increasingly isolated. Israeli strikes killed his key military advisors. This raises the risk of strategic errors. Khamenei relies on a close circle of loyalists. His son Mojtaba's influence is growing. Khamenei faces escalating conflict with Israel. He also faces internal unrest due to economic hardship. The loss of regional allies further isolates him.
