Some officials in Israel and the U.S. believe that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not ruling Iran, with control being exerted by the revolutionary guard (IRGC), according to a new report.
Speaking to the Jerusalem Post, Iran expert Nati Tuvian said Ahmad Vahidi, the IRGC commander appointed after the assassination of Mohammad Pakpour at the beginning of the war, as well as other leaders, are not "figures who are willing to mace concessions or be perceived as conceding."
