Iran's Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, has taken on a prominent role in communicating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) stance on the Strait of Hormuz. In a recent address, he declared that all maritime traffic in the Strait is under the IRGC's control and warned that the United States must lift its blockade to avoid restrictions on shipping. This shift from the IRGC's previous impersonal directives to a more engaging narrative reflects a broader strategy to unify the military and political leadership in Iran. Ghalibaf's approach emphasizes Iranian dominance in the region while addressing the nation directly, suggesting a more personal connection to the unfolding geopolitical drama. However, reports indicate lingering tensions between the IRGC and the civilian government, with unconfirmed rumors of discord regarding military operations. Despite the public portrayal of unity, doubts remain about the true alignment of interests within Iran's power structures.
