Iranian journalist and researcher Arash Azizi wrote for the digital magazine "The Atlantic" that the decrease in activity and statements from the leader is fueling a growing wave of rumors about his condition.

While the White House celebrated diplomatic achievements, intelligence reveals that Tehran used the "window of opportunity" to rapidly rebuild its missile array and transfer control to extremists.

We published information this evening regarding changes at the top of the Iranian regime. Despite rumors about Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's health, it is claimed he has carried out a series of senior appointments, selecting officials tasked with leading Iran's next war.

Iran's Supreme Leader has announced the appointment of Hossein Taeb as the new commander of the Basij. He previously held this position and served as head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization, but left his post amid severe security failures against Israel.

The dismissal of Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr and his replacement by Mohsen Rezaee expose the Iranian regime's difficulty in rehabilitating its top decision-making echelon after the war. Alongside an attempt to stabilize the system, the appointment highlights the shortage of senior officials with experience and weight.

A letter of allegiance to the new leader of Iran grants religious and political legitimacy. The dynastic appointment, his extremist image, and reports that his father opposed his selection hover over him. His public response clarifies: support for the organization and the path of resistance will continue under his rule.

Six senior military appointments were announced today, including a new Chief of General Staff and an official commander for the Revolutionary Guards. Hossein Taeb, dismissed after intelligence failures to prevent assassinations, returns to the top security echelon.

As Iran moves away from the active combat phase, senior officials in the ruling hierarchy are intensifying their efforts to exploit the situation to establish their status in the new leadership.

While reports on his condition continue to contradict each other, the prolonged absence of Iran's leader from the public arena leaves the system in Tehran dependent on written statements and interpretations by senior officials.

Mohsen Rezaee, military advisor to the Supreme Leader and former commander of the IRGC, has been appointed by the President of Iran as Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. Additionally, Mojtaba Khamenei has appointed Rezaee as his representative to the council, effectively consolidating control over Tehran's security and foreign policy in his hands.

According to reports in Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei has not met with government members since the attack in February and has not appeared in public since his appointment. Rumors of a deterioration in his condition are circulating in Tehran, but there is no official confirmation.

Sources in the Gulf say that the US has made a significant concession regarding Iran's demands for control over Hormuz, and that the draft agreement is ready - and awaiting the Supreme Leader's approval: "It is a temporary solution that will pave the way for the resumption of nuclear negotiations". Reuters: Tehran threatened to attack "critical infrastructure throughout the Gulf" in response to...

Reports indicate that talks to regulate the opening of the Strait of Hormuz are “advancing at full speed” and that “significant progress” has been achieved.

Months after inheriting his father's position, the new Supreme Leader of Iran is neither seen nor heard in public – only written messages, no voice, no appearance.

According to The New York Times, US intelligence assesses that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, unlike his father, is interested in developing a nuclear warhead for long-range missiles. Fearing a commando operation at the fortified 'Mount of Sorcery' facility, Iran has deployed ground forces to the site.
