The Civil-War In Iran Has Started: What the President's Attempted Resignation really means

As we reported earlier, in a stunning display of chaos at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian attempted to formally submit his resignation to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei today, only to discover that the new leader was unreachable.

Pezeshkian requested an urgent meeting to step down, but Mojtaba Khamenei, who assumed power after his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death - could not be located or contacted.

The does not only highlight the deepening power vacuum and communication breakdown inside Tehran amid the ongoing war with Israel and the United States, but a deeper trend.

Together with the recent elimination of senior regime figures including Ali Larijani, the blame now rests on the IRGC for failing to protect the political leadership. This was actually the reason for Pezeshkian's attempt to resign as reported by Israel's Channel 14. The claim is that the IRGC deliberately exposed Larijani via poor security protocol - in order to get him out of the way.

With the IRGC tightening its grip and internal rivalries intensifying, even the relatively moderate president appears to be abandoning the sinking ship. Assessments now indicate that, in fact, the new and young Ayatollah, whose condition is unclear, is nothing but a puppet controlled by the IRGC, who are ruling and trying to cling to power at this stage and subjugate the spiritual leadership that was eliminated.

What this means is that when president Trump mentions “there's no one really to talk to”, he does not mean the president or foreign minister who are still alive - but actually he knows that the IRGC is actually at a point of enabling the killing of other security/political officials who are rivals within the leadership.

Meaning there's a purge against the civil/political leadership.

Meanwhile as Ayatollah junior is missing in action this status serves IRGC.
