Golden Quote
“Whenever a commander of revolutionary guards would be killed, immediately, in a short period of time, he has been replaced by another person. In the past few weeks, it seems to me, the more hardline commanders are taking position after those commanders are being killed.”

Synopsis

Israel assassinated the intelligence chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, General Majid Khademi, in a strike on Tehran — the latest in a string of targeted killings that has progressively decapitated Iran's security leadership. The strike lands as Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires, with The Economist's Greg Carlstrom making the case that Iran has little incentive to relinquish its most valuable strategic card in exchange for only a temporary truce. For professionals tracking geopolitical risk, this episode delivers sharp, on-the-ground analysis of whether a US-Iran deal is actually achievable — and why the answer is probably no.
