Khamenei Death Opens Path to Different Iran, EU Says

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death as a defining moment in Iran's history, stating it creates an open path to a different Iran where its people may have greater freedom to shape their future. Kallas noted uncertainty remains but emphasized the potential for change following the Supreme Leader's death in Israeli and US air strikes. She is engaging with regional partners affected by Iran's military actions to find de-escalation steps. The death marks a pivotal shift after Khamenei's 38-year rule, with Iranian state media confirming his passing and appointing Ayatollah Arafi as acting Supreme Leader.
