Iranian Revolutionary Guard Reportedly Running Country
The Revolutionary Guard is increasingly making decisions in Iran rather than the Supreme Leader. According to Reuters, Supreme Leader Khamenei continues to hold the highest position in the system, but his role is primarily limited to legitimizing decisions made by the Revolutionary Guard. According to an analysis by Reuters, no power remains in the country capable of opposing the Revolutionary Guard following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Expert Arash Azizi stated that agreements now require their approval. The country's political landscape is described as a struggle between radicals and even more radical factions rather than between radicals and moderates. Middle East Institute expert Alex Vatanka stated that decision-making processes in Iran have consolidated around security institutions despite existing ideological differences.
