00:16What if a country suddenly lost its top leadership and the military quietly took control?
00:23That's the situation unfolding in Iran right now, and it could change the course of the ongoing war.
00:30Earlier this week, Donald Trump claimed that negotiations to end the conflict were underway with more moderate Iranian leaders.
00:38But Iran quickly denied it.
00:40And now a bigger question is emerging.
00:43Who is actually in charge in Iran?
00:46According to multiple reports, the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, has effectively taken control of the country.
00:56Iran's president, Massoud Pezizkhanian, is reportedly stuck in a complete political deadlock.
01:02Sources suggest the IRGC is now making key decisions, from military strategy to internal governance, while sidelining the civilian leadership.
01:13This power shift began after the death of Ali Khamenei, in early strikes during the conflict.
01:19His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was quickly named as the new supreme leader.
01:24But here's the twist.
01:26He hasn't been seen in public since.
01:28Some reports suggest he may be in critical condition.
01:32Others claim he could be in a coma.
01:34And all official messages, they're being read out on state television, not delivered by him directly.
01:40With no active supreme leader, a power vacuum has formed, and the IRGC has stepped in.
01:48Reports indicate a military council of IRGC commanders is now running daily operations.
01:54They've reportedly placed Mojtaba under strict security, even blocking government officials from reaching him.
02:01President Pezizkhanian's request to meet the supreme leader, ignored.
02:05Key appointments, blocked or overridden.
02:08Tensions between the IRGC and the president are rising.
02:13Pezizkhanian, seen as a moderate, has reportedly opposed the IRGC's aggressive military strategy,
02:20especially attacks on neighboring Gulf countries.
02:23He warned it could damage Iran's already fragile economy.
02:26But the IRGC appears to be pushing forward, prioritizing military objectives over political concerns.
02:34This isn't just any military force.
02:37The IRGC has evolved over decades into a powerful institution with influence over oil, banking, infrastructure, and defense.
02:47Now, it also controls the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route currently under disruption.
02:53In many ways, it's no longer just a military body.
02:57It's becoming the center of power in Iran.
02:59Meanwhile, tensions are growing even within the leadership circle.
03:04Senior figures who opposed Mojtaba's rise are reportedly being pushed out.
03:09Warnings had already been made that his leadership could hand full control to the IRGC and weaken civilian institutions.
03:17Now, that prediction may be becoming reality.
03:21So what we're seeing isn't just a war.
03:23It's a transformation of power inside Iran.
03:27A shift from political leadership to military dominance.
03:31And if the IRGC continues to consolidate control, it could reshape not just Iran, but the entire region.
