This shows that governance in Iran is not based on a single individual but on a structured system.
One of the main achievements in Iran over recent decades has been the establishment of a system based on public opinion, elections, and institutional decision-making. Representatives of the nation are selected by the people and participate in governing the country.
All sectors—including military, political, cultural, and economic institutions—operate through defined structures.
Therefore, when a leader is lost, the system continues its function. This is a key difference between a system-based government and a purely centralized dictatorship.
