Mojtaba Khamenei has emerged as a central figure in Iran’s leadership structure following the death of Ali Khamenei during the ongoing war. However, reports indicate that real power has shifted toward the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and security institutions, marking a major transformation in how Iran is governed.

Russia has introduced the S-71K “Kover,” a new air-launched cruise missile designed for the Sukhoi Su-57, significantly expanding its stand-off strike capability. With a reported range of up to 300 km, the missile allows Russian aircraft to hit targets without entering heavily defended airspace protected by systems like the MIM-104 Patriot. Ukrainian intelligence has released detailed technical data confirming the missile’s operational deployment, including its design, components, and battlefield role.
