Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly offered his resignation to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, as reported by the London-based outlet Iran International. In his resignation letter, Pezeshkian criticized the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for effectively taking control of significant government functions, leaving him and other officials excluded from essential decision-making. The letter emphasized that the current political climate made it impossible for him to fulfill his presidential duties. Sources indicate that the primary conflict between Pezeshkian and the IRGC's leadership revolves around the management of the ongoing war and its detrimental effects on the Iranian economy and citizens' livelihoods. In a related development, U.S. officials disclosed that Khamenei is currently in a secret location, with limited communication to the outside world, accessible only through a complicated network of couriers. This situation has led to a lack of direct contact between Khamenei and even the highest-ranking officials in the Iranian government, raising concerns about the regime's stability.
