Senior Iranian military and government figures have reportedly designated replacements to take over immediately if they are targeted, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The named successors are said to be authorised to carry out pre arranged military actions without delay.
The move signals heightened alert levels within Iran’s leadership as regional tensions continue to escalate.
Analysts say the preparations point to Tehran’s concern over decapitation strikes and its determination to maintain command continuity.
The development is likely to deepen international concern about miscalculation and rapid escalation in an already volatile security environment.
