Iran's new President Masoud Pezeshkian is facing opposition from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) over how to retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The IRGC advocates for direct missile strikes on Israeli cities, while Pezeshkian, known for his moderate stance, favors targeting alleged Mossad bases outside Israel to avoid escalating into full-scale war.
