US EditionOpposition Leaders in Iran Call on Khamenei to Step Down After US Strikes
- On June 22 and 23, 2025, the US struck three Iranian nuclear sites, devastating Iran's nuclear program and intensifying debate over its leadership.
- The strikes emerged from Iran's ongoing nuclear weapons pursuit, which opposition leaders blame for harming Iranians and fueling regional conflict.
- Opposition leaders Maryam Rajavi and Reza Pahlavi urged Supreme Leader Khamenei to step down, calling for regime change toward a secular, democratic Iran.
- Rajavi stated, "Now Khamenei must go," saying his "unpatriotic project" has "all gone up in smoke," while Pahlavi declared the regime "teetering on the edge of collapse."
- These developments indicate growing opposition unity and possible political transition plans, though risks include war expansion and constitutional barriers to Khamenei's removal.
