Khamenei Is Gone—So Who Can End the US-Iran War? | Jiang Xueqin Explainer

In this video, we examine the US-Iran war after the removal of Khamenei and ask the question every major network is avoiding: if America can strike Iran’s military infrastructure, who inside Tehran now has enough authority to negotiate—and actually end the war? We break down how Khamenei’s removal may have created an Iran leadership crisis, why military victory does not automatically produce a negotiated exit, and whether Iran’s government, Mojtaba Khamenei, or the IRGC can deliver a ceasefire that every armed faction will obey. We also examine the Islamabad MOU, Iran’s reported military recovery, the strategic importance of the Golestan railway bridge, and the wider roles of Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, China, and Russia. The central problem for Washington is no longer simply how to weaken Iran. It is how to identify a credible negotiating partner capable of controlling the Iranian state, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Strait of Hormuz. This is not only a story about who can win the next battle. It is a story about whether anyone still has the power to end the US-Iran war. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.
