Middle East Crisis: A major claim has emerged regarding the powers of Iranian President Masoud Pazhakian. According to reports, the country’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has limited the president’s role in key matters to security and foreign policy.
A report by Israeli Channel 14 claims that officials within the security establishment will now have the final say on sensitive issues such as national security, the nuclear program, and potential negotiations with the United States. According to the report, presidential approval will no longer be as crucial in these matters.
Priority given to advice from security agencies
Pazashkian has reportedly previously expressed dissatisfaction with his government’s lack of a say in key decisions. He even reportedly offered to resign. Now, reports claim that the military and security establishment will be prioritized in strategic matters.
The picture is still unclear on US-Iran talks.
The date and location for the proposed talks between the US and Iran have not yet been finalized. Reports suggest that Pakistan and Qatar may join the talks as potential mediators, with both countries seeking to de-escalate tensions.
Claims of change in Iran’s strategy
According to a Reuters report, Iran is now trying to exert strategic pressure on the US and its allies by increasing pressure on maritime trade, oil supplies and major shipping routes rather than through direct military confrontation.
Iran claims to have shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that it shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone flying over the Strait of Hormuz with its air defense systems. However, the country to which the drone belonged has not been publicly disclosed.
America increased pressure options
According to reports, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) is considering new options to increase pressure on Iran. Officials were quoted as saying that military and strategic options are being reviewed.
The route of the ships changed after the Houthi threat
Six Saudi supertankers have chosen a longer sea route around southern Africa rather than through the Red Sea and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait following warnings from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, raising concerns about maritime security in the region.
