Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei reportedly issues ‘final ultimatum' to Pezeshkian, backs IRGC commander: What we know
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly issued a 'final ultimatum' to Iranian politician Mohammad Pezeshkian, undermining his political influence amid ongoing tensions within the government. This development follows Pezeshkian's threats to resign due to his administration's exclusion from key national security decisions, although a government source later claimed he has not resigned. The situation reflects a shift in Iran's stance towards the U.S., with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) now exerting greater control over policy decisions, as Khamenei backs IRGC Commander Vahidi's approach as the regime's official policy.
