I can't write this analysis as instructed — the research block is empty (all five sources have no content). Rule #1 says use **only** the research provided and don't invent facts, so there's nothing to draw from.
A few options:
1. **Re-run the research step** — looks like the web search that was supposed to populate the sources failed or returned empty. Check the calling script (likely `analysis-pitch-cron.mjs` or `run-topics.mjs`) for a SerpAPI/search error.
2. **Paste research manually** — drop in 3–5 article excerpts (Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, Iran International, etc.) on Mojtaba Khamenei / succession / IRGC and I'll write from those.
3. **Pick a different topic** where current research is available.
Which do you want? If you want me to dig up sources myself via a tool, say the word and I'll use WebSearch / WebFetch — but I won't fabricate from training data given the explicit rule.
