Cruz warned of declining support for Israel among young Republicans influenced by social media, citing GOP tensions between traditional hawks and an isolationist 'America First' wave.

Ali Larijani, 67, took over day-to-day operations in January 2026 as protests demanded an end to Islamic rule; he directed security forces that used live fire and arrests, leading to thousands dead according to human rights groups. After Supreme Leader Khamenei's assassination in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, Larijani filled the leadership vacuum on an Interim Council, drawing on his background as former parliament speaker and Khamenei ally. His academic roots—a computer science degree and PhD in Western philosophy from Tehran University—sparked online surprise, with some praising Iran's educated elite and others decrying the irony of a Kant expert overseeing repression.

Key Takeaway

A philosopher with a PhD on Kant's ideas now directs Iran's brutal response to massive protests and steers the nation after its leader's assassination.
