What if Iranian leadership like President and foreign ministry agree to stop and supreme leader is taken out again hypothetically or suppose Iran was unable to pick the current supreme leader what would Iranian leadership do to implement the ceasefire.
This conflict presents a very interesting case study. I say that because it raises a scenario in which the top leadership and high command of Iran was taken out within 48 hours.
According to Iran, there is a protocol in place for what surviving officials should do if the Supreme Leader is eliminated. I will not go into detail, but it appears similar to the Prussian and German model, where officers are extensively trained for higher ranks and are available in abundance. This means that if a commander is lost during an operation, a junior commander is already experienced enough to immediately assume that role.
However, in Iran’s case, only the Supreme Leader has the authority to direct the IRGC’s 31 commands to stop a conflict. If the Supreme Leader were completely removed from the scene and the conflict began to spiral out of control, one side might lose the ability to communicate a ceasefire order. Even if senior parties agreed to stop, the conflict could continue in an automated mode.
In such a situation, how would the conflict ultimately be stopped?
De-escalation in phases, something like 12 hours followed by 24 hours, something of that sort to synchronize the effect of ceasefire among all commands?
Because in modern day an automated protocol can continue non stop which could end up in lots of loss and possible conflict going nuclear..
Any thoughts? Remember their is trust deficit among Iranian's because of mossad penetration.. that's why I asked..
