According to the New York Times, Iran has historically had fierce political rivalries that sometimes explode into public view. But these divisions have traditionally been between conservatives, who adhere to the religious and anti-Western ideology of the Islamic Revolution, and reformists, who seek change but have been repeatedly thwarted. Now, in the vacuum left by the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had absolute power over all major decisions, conservatives are divided. One side calls itself the pragmatist, arguing that the country's survival requires an end to hostility with the United States and an opening of the economy. On the other side are a few hardliners; Refuses to make any concessions to the United States (including on its nuclear program) and believes Iran can win by prolonging the war. According to four senior Iranian officials and two members of the Revolutionary Guards, the public disagreements are just the tip of the iceberg, and deeper rifts are forming behind the scenes. They described a fierce battle as each side tried to win over the new supreme leader, Mujahidabala, as an ally to dominate Iran's political future. According to them, Currently, the pragmatists (including senior Revolutionary Guard generals, Speaker of Parliament Qalibaf, President Pezeshitsyan and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council General Zolgadel) have the upper hand. Ignoring outside noise, they pushed forward with key decisions on accepting a ceasefire, direct negotiations with US Vice President Vance, and signing an agreement with Trump. And the supreme leader no longer seems to have "absolute power." In the months since the war began, Revolutionary Guard generals have consolidated power, actually running the country. In a sign that decision-making has shifted away from the absolute power of the former Supreme Leader to a more collective process under the current Supreme Leader: Iran's Vice President for Administrative Affairs Mohammad-Jafar Ghampanah recently stated that the new Supreme Leader does not have the final say. Gampanach said Mujtaba's opinions were similar to those of other officials and should be discussed and considered. "If we only need to implement the opinions of the Supreme Leader, then why do we have parliament and the National Security Council?" he said, addressing senior government leaders. Under the previous supreme leader, Such a statement is unthinkable.
