Last week, Trump told the press that 'all the Iranians we wanted to talk to about a surrender are dead.' That followed an aerial assault on Tehran.
Two days ago, a new Iranian leader (son of the old one) was targeted and killed 4 hours after his election.
Now Iran has another leader.
If this guy assumes room temperature very soon, the pattern becomes obvious: someone wants these 'leaders' dead so Trump can NOT negotiate surrender.
IOW, "someone" wants to continue this war until not one stone sits on another in Iran.
Hmmmmm.

…….Israel’s military warned that it would pursue any successor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as well as anyone involved in appointing the next leader.
In a statement, the Israeli military said Iran’s ruling system was trying to rebuild itself and choose a new leader after Khamenei’s killing, and said the Assembly of Experts was expected to convene soon in Qom.
The military said Israel would continue to track “every successor” and “every person who seeks to appoint a successor,” and issued a direct warning to those planning to take part in the meeting.
“We warn all those who intend to participate in the meeting to choose a successor that we will not hesitate to target you as well,” it said...,.,,,

Wow
93 million people can’t have a leader? Really?
That is normally why you don't kill the political leadership; who else can negotiate a surrender?
Of course, there's no guarantee that they will negotiate one even if you leave them alive. If they feel very safe, why would they? For a good and moral leader, perhaps because they are moved by the suffering of their people: but Iran just killed several tens of thousands of its people just to shut them up. That's not going to work either.
Breaking Iran up is probably going to work, which will limit the harm any future government can do. Cutting oil shipments to China off from Iran is going to work -- has already, because they destroyed the main terminal's power supply and no rebuilding can happen while the air war continues. That might create pressure to surrender from China eventually; already the Chinese say they'll only provide 'moral support' to Iran. Russia isn't even providing that; they say, 'that alliance treaty we signed was with Khamenei, and where is he now?'
Maybe at some point along the chain of dead leaders, you'll find the leader whose main idea is to surrender very publicly and intentionally in order to stay alive. Maybe; but somebody has to pull a rabbit out of his hat. There's not a clear line for how this works out in evidence.
“Breaking Iran up is probably going to work”
You mean like how it worked in Vietnam and Afghanistan?
“Cutting oil shipments to China off from Iran is going to work”
Temporarily.
“Russia isn't even providing that; they say, 'that alliance treaty we signed was with Khamenei, and where is he now?'”
To the contrary.

Their fanaticism won’t allow it.
As far as Dad29’s comment that “someone wants these 'leaders' dead so Trump can NOT negotiate surrender”, Trump is part of this problem. His son in law WANTS this chaos.
Neither can the U.S. apparently. In unjust war news….
Iran’s Foreign Minister confirmed it: the US struck a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island using HIMARS launched from Bahrain’s Jufair base. Thirty villages lost their water supply. His response was measured but unambiguous – “the US set this precedent, not Iran”.
MAGA by extension is supporting Israel.
