# Leaders are eliminated, but the system remains standing: what is Iran's hidden governance mechanism?

In the latest episode of the program Aktual Gündəm ("Current Agenda") on Baku TV, the focus was on the processes unfolding within the framework of the confrontation between the US and Israel with Iran, which has been ongoing for 21 days.

Why is Iran seeking to prolong the war? Leaders are being eliminated, but the system remains standing: what is the hidden governance mechanism of the Islamic Republic? Thousands of American military personnel are being deployed to the region: is a critical moment for Iran approaching?

These and other pressing questions were discussed in detail with the participation of political scientists Yusif Bagirzade, Alimusa Ibragimov, and political commentator Taleh Shahsuvarli.
