Reports indicate that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has submitted a resignation letter to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, citing a significant power struggle with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The letter, revealed by the London-based outlet Iran International, outlines Pezeshkian's concerns about being sidelined from critical decision-making processes amid the ongoing war against the United States and Israel. He expressed that the IRGC has effectively taken control over substantial government operations, leaving his administration unable to function properly. The tensions between Pezeshkian and the IRGC have escalated, particularly regarding the management of the war and its adverse effects on the Iranian economy and citizens' livelihoods. The situation has created a political deadlock, restricting the government's ability to engage in diplomatic negotiations and implement necessary cabinet changes. Additionally, reports suggest that Khamenei is currently in a secret location, complicating communication with top officials and raising questions about the future of Pezeshkian's resignation.
