Iran switches to survival mode after killing of Khamenei

A live television slip two weeks ago — when an Iranian reporter mistakenly said “death to Khamenei” instead of “death to America” — highlighted growing resentment toward Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on Saturday in US and Israeli airstrikes. The 86-year-old cleric, who ruled Iran for nearly four decades, died along with four family members when his compound in Tehran was destroyed.
