Former US national security adviser John Bolton said on Thursday that, when Ali Khamenei dies (he is 84 years old), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) would be vulnerable and a democratic transition more plausible.
Speaking at a Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JPCA) webinar on “Supporting Iran’s Quest for Democracy and the Urgency of Europe Proscribing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,” Bolton noted that Khamenei has been sick many times, and that the Islamic Regime no real clear path for the transition of power.
