Power struggle in Tehran as IRGC sidelines Pezeshkian amid wartime decisions

A power struggle appears to be unfolding inside Iran as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is accused of tightening its grip over state machinery during wartime. Reports suggest Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has been sidelined from key decisions, with even access to Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly restricted. As internal divisions deepen within the leadership’s inner circle, questions are mounting over who truly holds power in Tehran while the conflict with the U.S. and Israel intensifies.
