Khamenei Killing Fallout: India Flags Radicalisation, Cross-Border Links

• Indian intelligence agencies warn of foreign elements exploiting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death to incite unrest and recruit operatives.
• US-Israel strikes and Khamenei's death are seen as a "trigger point" for extremist groups targeting disaffected Muslim youth in states like UP, Maharashtra, Kerala, and J&K.
• Agencies monitor Shia communities' peaceful protests, fearing fringe elements could hijack sentiments; Iran-linked militias may amplify "Shia genocide" narratives.
• Concerns over Pakistan's ISI-linked outfits (LeT, JeM) exploiting instability, pushing operatives/arms via porous borders, and Sunni extremist groups like ISIS-K and AQIS.
• Social media and encrypted platforms are primary tools for rapid radicalisation, spreading multilingual propaganda framing Khamenei's killing as a Western-Zionist assault.
