🇮🇷🕵️♂️ Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has not appeared in public since the ceasefire, sparking growing speculation over his health, safety, or possible assassination. The silence from the country’s most powerful figure is intensifying concerns among officials, media, and citizens alike.
Hamza Safavi, son of senior IRGC adviser Yahya Safavi, admitted publicly that fear of an Israeli assassination attempt has led to extraordinary protective measures. Multiple security layers have reportedly been activated, and government communications are being tightly controlled.
Khamenei’s prolonged absence has exacerbated internal power struggles within the Islamic Republic. According to insiders, competing factions are scrambling to control Iran’s nuclear policy and its stance toward the United States.
Currently, the moderate bloc, aligned with newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, appears to be in control. They favor continued diplomacy with Washington and a pragmatic approach to the post-war landscape.
However, hardliners within the IRGC and the conservative parliamentary majority are pushing back, labeling the ceasefire a humiliation and demanding renewed resistance.
With no official update or appearance from Khamenei, the vacuum at the top raises the stakes for Iran’s fragile post-war political future—and may determine whether the country moves toward de-escalation or renewed confrontation.
