Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran supreme leader said to be in critical condition
2015-03-07
"The reports come as Iran and the Western powers race to formulate a nuclear deal before the end of the month -- a deal Khamenei will have to sign off on in order for it to pass."
Succession in Theocracies can be messy and unpredictable. Ergo the Obama rush to get something signed before Khamenei begins selecting burkas for his virgins. Better the Devil you know, and all that.
