Impact of Iranian Revolutionary Guard on Regional Politics

Brigadier General, the Revolutionary Guard, in your view,

if Mojtaba Khamenei was killed,

as Trump says is 90% likely,

would it affect the behavior of the Revolutionary Guard, which could or,

logically, actually be reflected on the Houthi militia and other militias,

and other loyal and affiliated militias of Iran?

The truth of the matter is that the one who rules is the Iranian

Revolutionary Guard,

whether Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive or dead.

Why do I say that they are the ones who rule and who will rule in the coming days?

Because the one who imposed Mojtaba

Khamenei in this specific position is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Because everyone realizes that Mojtaba Khamenei's religious level does not qualify

him to become the Supreme Leader under the approved

conditions of Wilayat al- Faqih.

Therefore, the one who imposed Mojtaba Khamenei is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

And what made that possible was the death of Ebrahim Raisi,

the only figure who was agreed upon in the regime's designation as a successor to

Ali Khamenei. In case anything happens, or in the event of his death.

So, the one who imposed Mojtaba Khamenei is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Therefore, if he is alive,

they are the ones to thank for his existence as Supreme Leader.

And he is the one who started early;

there are reports I read in' 22 who started early trying to create an elite within

the Iranian Revolutionary Guard loyal to him.

But overall, the Iranian system based on Velayat- e Faqih has undergone some change.

Consequently, Mojtaba Khamenei's accession to this position means breaking the

sacred religious rule in this Iranian system.

Therefore, from now on, we will find many of these figures seeking to win

personal loyalties,

whether among the leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or in the

institutions concerned with appointing the Supreme Leader.

And this is perhaps what we

heard from the Vice President or the Deputy Speaker

of Parliament during the funeral procession, that the matter of the Leader

is not final.

Everyone must listen to it,

otherwise why is there a parliament and a presidency?

So, this is what will happen in the coming days,

but we are talking about the present moment The Iranian Revolutionary

Guard is the one in control,

And we noticed the wide gap between the political side and the

military reality in Iran.

How the day before yesterday there was a meeting between

Iran's foreign ministry and Oman, and hours later striking Oman itself,

while perhaps the Iranian foreign minister was still inside it.

So, what is the extent of its influence on its proxies in the region?

In my view, the influence has become direct And perhaps in the first

few days of the US strike on Iran, communication

was lost with the Yemeni side But today, it is reorganizing the Iranian

Revolutionary Guard with all the factions and preparing for any upcoming scenarios,

because war is inevitably coming back.

Meaning, these are new paths being taken by Iran As a different phase

of the war? Yes, they discovered, and this is what the strategic advisor to Mojtaba

Khamenei said that the Strait of Hormuz is better than, say,

100 nuclear bombs.

So, what if it were the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al- Mandab?

And this is indeed what we talked about long ago as the strategic

deterrent weapon of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,

and it has no strategic nuclear or other weapon.
