After a missile attack that led to the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei suddenly disappeared from the public sphere. His absence from February until now has raised many questions about the state of power in Iran. However, it now seems that he is rebuilding and solidifying his power by relying on the old guard of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Changes in the Power Structure
In recent months, Mojtaba Khamenei has been seeking to make changes in the leadership structure of the IRGC. He has turned to influential old figures who have been active in the IRGC for years and can help him maintain power. These changes indicate a new strategy to confront the internal and external challenges facing the regime.
Returning to the old guard is a sign of distrust in the younger generation within the IRGC. It seems Mojtaba intends to use the experience and influence of these individuals to strengthen himself against internal threats and external pressures. This decision could potentially narrow the circle of power and lead to greater conflicts within the regime.
Possible Consequences
Given the current situation, this action by Khamenei could have serious consequences for the future of the regime. Especially since in recent years, economic and social crises in Iran have increased, and public discontent has reached its peak. Relying on the old guard of the IRGC may instead of solving these problems, lead to heightened tensions and disputes.
Ultimately, many questions remain about the future of the regime and how to manage crises. Will Mojtaba Khamenei be able to maintain his power and improve the situation by relying on this strategy? This is a matter that needs to be carefully examined in the coming days.
