Khamenei Reinstates Old Guard in Security Roles
Reports have confirmed that Ebrahim Raisi, the Supreme Leader of Iran, made significant security appointments in August, including leaders from the Revolutionary Guards such as Mohsen Rezaei, Hussein Taba, Ahmad Vahidi, and Ali Abdullahian. This move is considered a preparation for a prolonged and more hardened confrontation with the United States. These appointments follow a period of absence of public appearances by Khamenei and indicate a more risk-taking and tense approach, targeting the promotion of experienced and loyal figures from the old guard to enhance their influence both internally and externally. The importance of this step is highlighted within the context of escalating tensions with Washington, amid ongoing questions about Khamenei’s health and influence within the Iranian regime.
