in april to iran, responded with an unprecedented but lodge the unsuccessful direct, aerial bombardment of israel with the faith of racy unset and stay tv has been showing people gathering in most a new south. let's have 30 radians to pray for re c o that's going out of band and been taught at blue, who is a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies, where he focuses on is on in security and political issue with the joints. we now from washington dc. welcome to dw mrs. all of you map out the possibilities for us . what happens if this turns out to be a 50 crash? a? well, it's a pleasure, be with you. there are some possibilities already laid out in the run. you'd constitution, namely that the 1st vice president, mr. most there could be taking over with the not of the supreme leader. of course, they would have about 50 days before a special election,
1:05 am
or one would say selection takes place. this matters quite a bit. anyone's already fractious, domestic body politic because there is a massive chasm between state and society. you've had a run in boy cutting elections in mos really since 2017, but particularly since 2019. i concurred with the rise and 3 process in that country. the government has been keen to not have any kind of exhaustion is shocks to change things because already there was, again, this massive chasm between the state and society. i mean, ron was already slated to have presidential elections next year in spring of 2025. but let me pick up on what you mentioned about a success, mr. mckay. budge up. we know the dry see has a hotline and even brutal history. so if for the success, so what's the step and can we expect anything to change? indeed, i believe this. the story of space is not a status has been uh,
1:06 am
essentially, uh, taken over by the hard hard uh, is limis right. uh inside the as long make a public. uh, these are folks who don't even desire to stay in moderation and 2021. right. you see how does cabinet approved from the parliament at least 40 to 48 percent depending on how you count had been sanctioned internationally either from the e u us u, k r u n. in essence, you're going to have a continuation of that trend, reading hard, right? shifting around, semester of politics. but you mentioned the s squared and the word for succession is that right? you see was long believed to be a potential successor to your audience. current oxygen airy and supreme leader alley accommodate. and in this instance, that short list that he was on may have just gotten much shorter. if indeed the media does confirm that right. you see that in the telecom profession, you mentioned that coming days at the head of leadership here. and the supreme the leader is the one in charge. but in that case,
1:07 am
could you walk us to what is the role of the president in his art in politics? that it's a great question because sometimes the lines on paper don't translate to the political or social realities on the ground. and that's certainly the case with you on splitting systems. for example, on paper, this person has the no 2nd or 3rd level of political oversight of the military. but we certainly know that's not the case. these logic revolutionary guard court, i definitely operates on its own fund rate, is on its own, and is not beholden to the president or traditional lines of command authority that exists to get on paper. more importantly for president plays and ceremonial rules too much, sy, listed so you can have an impact on domestic and foreign policy. and perhaps most importantly has an impact on implementing economic plans. and it's really an liaison between some of those plans that are greenlighted from the topic brought into into being by the parliament or more local council. so the president has
1:08 am
a lot more to do with the way things are run at home that are abroad. but again, despite this being revolutionary regime, this is really much more story of states is not change because he runs political system has been shrinking and moving to the hard right. quite quickly. i want to talk with back to something you said earlier about the full tests that are demanding goods. even change, of course, they have been focused on common name. but like you mentioned drugs, the does have a role to play in domestic politics and policies. does this crash in any way make that demand for the dream change possible to uh, absolutely, one wonders if this will leads to another round of protests on the screen. if i had to guess right now, i would say not likely, but there is one for in line to be aware of which is since 29th, 2017. and particularly since 2019, we won't even population has been using every single opportunity to social crisis, environmental crisis, political crisis, foreign policy crisis, and even environmental crisis. to be able to say no to the world,
1:09 am
the massive chasm that exists between them and the state federal rules them. and they try to continue to resist and reject and put forward their own views and values. and that's why raised in hominy have both been the target to be running population slogans 2021. and that's why likely you're going to see the chasm continued despite whatever musical chairs may happen at the top endeavor. and i'm ben teller, blue. thank you so much for the toyota analysis. pleasure. thank you. now, the body of the gentleman is rarely 10 o victim. shawnee luke has been laid to rest and instead of the 22 year old was killed. that'll super no a fast to move and it was attacked by him off on october 7th, last 2 loops, a man sort of combo advised, any troops along with those of 3 other victims are now. meanwhile, fighting between israel and homos is intensifying in gaza. the knowledge of the data should be seeing some of the fewest bachelors since the october 7th started

1:11 am
