Gulf Cooperation Council & Ali Khamenei

Gulf Cooperation Council: The Gulf Arab states, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, are considered the biggest losers in the conflict, facing the prospect of a more bitter and harder-line Iranian leadership and heightened confrontation to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

Ali Khamenei: Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, was a primary target for decapitation by US-Israeli forces, with his death being a key objective for regime change.
