War with Iran

[The Sultan]

I'm sure he'll declare victory no matter what happens, but do people actually believe the Iranian regime is going to crumble because its 86-year-old leader was killed?
There's a scenario here where this is the first of many dominoes that, if they fall right, ends the regime. But there are so many plausible outcomes here, not the least of which is that the regime comes out of this more hardened and extreme.

No my point is that if he sees that it will go bad or popular opinion is massively against this, that he will just declare victory and depart regardless of the dominoes remaining.

I agree with your point. Just adding to it that killing Khamenei, who no one should mourn or miss, might not be a victory in and of itself.
