IRGC Takes Full Control as Iran’s President Offers Resignation
Hamid Rasaei’s Telegram post, interpreted as a veiled criticism of Mojtaba Khamenei as an “unrighteous son,” has sparked significant backlash. Media outlets and political figures alike have questioned Rasaei’s motives, suggesting his timing and religious allusions were intended to undermine the new Supreme Leader. This controversy also occurred on the same day Mojtaba Khamenei praised Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a figure Rasaei has consistently opposed. Rasaei has since defended himself, claiming the post was an older piece reshared and that he had previously supported Mojtaba Khamenei’s leadership.
