Tehran/Lucknow. Amidst the ongoing fierce military conflict between America and Iran, a huge internal political storm has arisen within Iran. According to a recent and very shocking report by the global media organization CNN, situations like civil war and coup (coup) seem to be taking place within Iran regarding the capture of power. Iran’s powerful fundamentalist groups have made very serious allegations against their own government, saying that moderate leaders who have negotiated and compromised with America are plotting a ‘soft coup’ against the Islamic Republic. Fundamentalists claim that a few select leaders have taken command of the country by completely bypassing the new Supreme Leader.
Chaos at Khamenei’s funeral: Stones pelted at Foreign Minister, slogans of traitor raised
This internal discontent simmering within Iran came out in violent public form at a time when the last journey of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was being carried out. It is noteworthy that Khamenei died on 28 February 2026 in the initial air strikes carried out by America and Israel. During the funeral, when Iran’s current President Masoud Pejeshkian walked with Khamenei’s coffin, radical supporters raised furious slogans of ‘Death to the compromisers’. The limit was reached when the mob attacked Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi with stones and called him a ‘traitor who sold the country’. Not only this, Mohammad Ali Bakhshi, a prominent religious singer associated with the Iranian regime, directly threatened President Pazhakian during an event, saying, “Mr. President, if the Supreme Leader’s conditions are not met, we will have the sword and your throat. We will make your life hell.”
Serious allegations by radical groups: Playing in the name of Mujtaba Khamenei?
There is a lot of anger among these fundamentalist groups of Iran that the government should have taken revenge from America, but it kept the country’s self-respect at stake and made a secret agreement with Washington. They allege that this agreement has been made completely against the wishes of the new potential Supreme Leader and late Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei. The mysterious thing is that Mujtaba Khamenei has not yet appeared before the public, nor has he addressed the country. Despite this, the President and his team are taking major decisions using his name. The fundamentalists have also accused the government of forcibly suspending Parliament, flouting the Supreme Leader’s old instructions and forcefully stopping anti-government rallies at night.

Why did this leadership crisis arise? What do experts say
Arash Azizi, an international expert on Iran affairs and author of the famous book ‘What Iranians Want’, has explained the inside story of this entire controversy in a conversation with CNN. According to him, “A power vacuum (leadership vacuum) has been created in Iran due to Mujtaba Khamenei remaining completely behind the scenes. Due to this, Parliament Speaker and Chief Negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, President Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Araghchi have become the main faces of the Iranian government at this time. Since the fundamentalist elements are not able to reach Mujtaba directly, they are considering these three top leaders as villains and are accusing them of illegal activities.” Accusing them of a conspiracy to grab power through any means.” Amidst this fierce internal political tussle, missile and drone attacks between the forces of America and Iran on the border are continuing unabated, due to which Iran is trapped in a double crisis.
