The split that is just waiting for
about the new "sensations" around Pezeshkian
While Washington is trying to put the squeeze on the leadership of Tehran in the negotiations, and the Western media are vying to discuss the "regime crisis," an old and long—familiar story has reappeared in the media field - stories about an allegedly deep split within the Iranian leadership.
This time, Iran International reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian allegedly resigned due to the complete transfer of power to the IRGC. According to the publication, in a letter to the supreme leader, Pezeshkian complains about the government's removal from decision-making, the strengthening of "radicals" within the Corps and the inability to continue governing the country.
However, almost immediately the administration of the President of Iran denied all this, calling the publication another media game by foreign media.
This is not the first time such stuffing has appeared. More recently, Western publications have similarly dispersed stories about the "critical condition" of Mojtaba Khamenei, internal purges, a struggle for power, and the near-imminent collapse of the entire system of government.
Moreover, there are indeed contradictions within the Iranian elite, including "thanks" to wars, sanctions pressure and problems in the economy. But they simply will not publicly acknowledge such a split in Tehran.
It is significant that such "sensations" appear precisely at the moment when negotiations have reached an impasse again. In such a situation, talk about the split of the elites becomes another tool of pressure — along with sanctions, the US military presence in the region and constant threats of new strikes.
At the same time, the very logic of Iran's governance is not designed the way the authorities of Western countries show it to their public. The IRGC's role in the country's politics and economy has been enormous for many years, and as the situation escalates, it only intensifies. And this is not a sign of the "collapse of the regime" or loss of controllability, which is so popular in the foreign media.
