Iran's Supreme Leader Misled as Revolutionary Guards Control Reality and Policy

Exclusive information obtained by Israeli News 14 reveals a deep power struggle within Iran's ruling elite, raising questions about who truly governs the country. Although Mojtaba Khamenei holds the title of Supreme Leader, he is reportedly disconnected from the harsh realities facing Iran, including inflation, unemployment, hunger, and public anger. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), led by Ahmad Vahidi, deliberately filters information reaching Khamenei, presenting a partial and distorted picture to maintain their autonomy.

This manipulation allows the IRGC to operate independently, making critical decisions and escalating tensions without the Supreme Leader's direct approval. While the public's frustration grows, the leadership around Khamenei adopts an increasingly aggressive stance, driven by Vahidi and his faction. Their strategy aims to provoke the United States into a confrontation, hoping to transform Iran's economic crisis into a national war that would unify the population against an external enemy.

Thus, despite Mojtaba Khamenei's nominal position at the top of Iran's hierarchy, it is Ahmad Vahidi and the Revolutionary Guards who effectively control the country's direction and policy. This internal dynamic underscores the regime's dangerous logic of external escalation to ensure its survival amid domestic unrest.
