Iran has publicly outlined its preparations for a post-Khamenei era, with threats directed primarily at the United States and Israel. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, stated that both nations will face dramatic repercussions should they be responsible for Khamenei's demise. He cited a recent military operation dubbed 'Promise of Truth 4' as a preliminary military response, emphasizing that such actions are only a small fraction of Iran's military capabilities and readiness.

In addition to Qalibaf's statements, Ali Larijani, a senior advisor to the Supreme Leader, underscored that detailed plans have been drawn up to ensure stable leadership transitions in compliance with Iranian constitutional law. He warned that any Iranian response would be much fiercer than what adversaries had previously experienced, signaling a potential for escalating military tensions in the region.

These stern warnings from Iranian leaders emphasize the centrality of vengeance in Iran's military doctrine and indicate that Tehran will remain committed to its clerical leadership's legacy. The provocative statements reflect Iran's strategy of using formidable rhetoric to deter perceived aggressions from the West, while also solidifying internal unity in light of uncertain political succession.
