According to Jerusalem Post, on Sunday 29 March, 2026, according to many accounts, the regime's internal divisions are about to explode into a full-blown governance crisis, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is ensnared in an ever-expanding power struggle with the country's influential military institution.
War choices, such as possible reactions to Israeli strikes and broader regional military posture, are ultimately controlled by Pezeshkian or Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
This disagreement recently came to light after reports of fights between the two men. The dispute, according to Iran International's cited informed sources, reveals deeper divisions within the institution.
An analyst with knowledge of the situation informed the publication that Peshkian is engaged in a struggle with his own military forces for control of Iran. In recent years, the IRGC's role as a "state within a state" has grown.
At the same time, the economic climate has become much worse. The people is increasingly dissatisfied and the civilian administration is under further strain due to the 50% increase in food costs over the past year and the three-month delay in the payment of government salaries in many provinces.
Although the reported clashes have sparked concerns in European and American capitals regarding Tehran's ability to retain a cohesive command structure in the face of increasing external threats, the regime has yet to issue an official statement regarding the reports.
