Nearby topic cluster: Raisi, Succession, Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, Irgc. ## Extracted Topic Notes - prediction: Jiang says Raisi was widely expected to become supreme leader after Khamenei, and that if Raisi became Ayatollah he could shift major policy in Iran. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lsrgvkxflts@transcript:v1#seg-0007` - diagnosis: Jiang says Khamenei cultivated personal ties with the IRGC, and Mojtaba Khamenei's unpopularity would make him dependent on IRGC support and obedient to IRGC policy if he became supreme leader.
