Analysts Discuss Potential Fragmentation Of Iran

Analysts suggest a strategic project aims to replace Iranian political elites, specifically those with ties to Europe, to create a new power balance. The process reportedly involves creating internal and external crises to facilitate this elite shift. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is noted as having been sidelined from his previous position in this restructuring. The movement is described as a way to balance power rather than establishing independent strategic forces. Analysts are discussing the possibility of regional platforms emerging in areas of Iran that the central government cannot control. This potential fragmentation is linked to issues of legitimacy and internal conflict. Such developments could pose risks to the stability of the Iranian state. The discussion suggests that certain actors may benefit from the disintegration of the country.
