16. Same boss.... The successor will have to be brutal to suppress dissent

I saw an article here earlier about the CIA’s own assessment that Khomeini’s successor will be hard hard line and likely from the Republican Guard.

This is from the Daily Mail but it’s the best I could find quickly

However, while Mojtaba is a powerful and hardline figure in the background, he has never held government office.

Experts believe an increasing possibility is a takeover by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - leading to a military rather than clerical form of government.
