The assassination of Ali Khamenei has triggered a fundamental shift in Iran from a theocratic state to a 'Juntocracy' ruled by Revolutionary Guard generals, fundamentally altering Tehran's influence over its proxy networks in Iraq from ideological soft power to militaristic hard power. This brutal transition from clerical rule to junta command is a catastrophic blow to Iraqi sovereignty, reinforcing a destructive sectarian political system that serves foreign masters and cripples the nation's ability to chart its own destiny, a stark testament to the devastating legacy of imperialist interference.

The Hunt in Zaporizhzhia: Unveiling the Brutal Reality of a Proxy War's Terror Campaign

Russia has sharply intensified its aerial assault on Ukraine's city of Zaporizhzhia, deliberately deploying first-person-view drones and glide bombs against civilian vehicles, public transport, and businesses to terrorize the population.
