Khamenei may bow to survive under hammer of snapback, analyst says
"Under the hammer of snapback, with Moscow's shield broken and Beijing resigned, Khamenei may, like Khomeini before him, bow to survive," Iranian academic and political analyst Shahram Kholdi wrote in his latest piece for Iran International.
"He could proclaim a volte-face: accept spontaneous inspections anywhere in Iran; relocate enrichment to a consortium abroad—in the United Arab Emirates or Qatar—or cede it wholly to Russia," the piece reads.
