00:03Iran's leadership structure has shifted after the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
00:07at the start of the war, with power consolidating among Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,
00:12commanders, and security institutions, according to Reuters.
00:16Mojtaba Khamenei has been elevated but largely endorses decisions rather than issuing directives.
00:22He is recovering from injuries sustained in the opening airstrikes that killed his father,
00:26including reported leg and facial wounds that have limited his public role.
00:30Officials and analysts said decision-making now centers on the Supreme National Security Council
00:34and the IRGC, which dominate military strategy and political decisions.
00:39Iran submitted a new proposal to the United States that envisions staged talks
00:43while setting aside the nuclear issue until the war ends,
00:46while Washington insists it be addressed immediately.
00:50Analysts said both sides see flexibility as weakness, limiting prospects for near-term progress.
