No serious analysis can possibly take into consideration the Epstein Syndicate’s mentally retarded blah blah blah about what goes on in the corridors of power in Tehran.
As if they had any informed clue.
Nothing is “fractured” (apart from Baboon of Barbaria’s psyche). There are of course different conceptual approaches, and a lively national public debate. But on a high decision level the whole system is strongly unified.

To start with, this is a whole new system, in full transition. At the decision core we have an emerging security-centered Quartet: IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi; Parliament speaker Ghalibaf; secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Zolghadr; and secretary of the Expediency Council, Mohsen Rezaee.
This security-centered imperative coexists with the previous hybrid arrangement, exemplified by the “reformists”, which include President Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Araghchi.
Of the 13 members of the Supreme National Security Council, only 2 are “reformists”.
And above all is the deciding authority of Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei – traditionally very close to the IRGC.
All that is incomprehensible for Epstein Syndicate propagandists, or for some two-bit Saudi “expert” spinning the fantasy of a “revolutionary coup” used by the IRGC to place Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian, and Araghchi under house arrest.
