Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has reportedly emerged as the de facto authority amid a leadership vacuum following the absence of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and tensions with President Masoud Pezeshkian. Reports suggest a military council of IRGC commanders is making key decisions, sidelining civilian leadership and blocking presidential appointments. Limited access to Mojtaba and lack of communication have deepened uncertainty over authority. The IRGC, already controlling military operations and the Strait of Hormuz, has expanded influence across governance and security. The situation reflects an intensifying power struggle, raising concerns over institutional balance and the future of Iran’s political structure. (PC: India Today)
