News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the ongoing fierce war in the Middle East and increasing tension with America, a big news is coming out from inside Iran. According to a special report by Zee News, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unprecedentedly increased its control over the administrative and strategic decisions of the country. According to reports, a kind of ‘silent coup’ like situation has arisen in Iran, where the Army (IRGC) has taken command by sidelining President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Shift in power equations: IRGC versus elected government
Developments over the past few weeks have made it clear that the leadership of Iran’s foreign policy and military operations now rests entirely with IRGC generals.
Position of the President: President Pezeshkian, who came as a reformist face, now appears incapable of taking major decisions.
Suspense of Supreme Leader: The most worrying thing is the Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei He has not been seen in public for the last several days. His absence has created a huge void in Iran’s power center, which the IRGC is trying to fill.
Crisis Management and Military Consolidation (State Power Consolidation)
The IRGC has strengthened its hold not only on the military front but also on the economic and crisis management structures of the country.
Regional dominance: Amid the ongoing conflict with Israel and the US, the IRGC has assumed full responsibility for coordination with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
Internal Control: In view of the increasing protests and economic crisis within the country, the IRGC has also increased its influence over the intelligence network and policing, so that any kind of internal rebellion can be suppressed.
Is there any possibility of peace? (Prospects for Peace)
Global experts believe that the increasing dominance of IRGC is a major challenge to the prospects for peace.
Radical stance: The IRGC historically believes in military deterrence rather than diplomacy. In such a situation, the hope of any nuclear agreement or regional peace talks with America being successful has diminished.
Murmurs of regime change: After Donald Trump’s tough stance and Israeli attacks, discussions about ‘regime change’ are intensifying in Iran. If the IRGC takes full power, the confrontation with the West could become more violent.
