US President Donald Trump recently stated that Iran is struggling to identify its leader and is experiencing internal conflicts. His comments were made amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly following a conflict involving Iran, the US, and Israel. In response, Iranian officials, including the heads of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, issued a joint statement emphasizing national unity, declaring, 'In Iran, there are no extremists or moderates; we are all Iranians and revolutionaries.' Iran's Ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, echoed this sentiment, stating, 'One God, one leader, one nation, and one path—the path to the triumph of our dearly beloved Iran.'

The remarks came after significant leadership upheaval in Iran following attacks by US and Israeli forces that resulted in the deaths of key figures, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Despite these losses, officials like Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi have maintained a visible role in shaping Iran's public stance, advocating for a unified approach in diplomacy with the US. However, recent developments around the strategic Strait of Hormuz have highlighted potential divisions within Iran's leadership regarding negotiations with Washington, indicating ongoing tensions as the country navigates its foreign policy.
