It is the man of the moment and Donald Trump. For now, safely, but the president of the United States has warned that this can change. Around him, Ayatola Ali Khamenei is seeing less and less support, as his military summit is completely beheaded, with Israelite attacks that even reached politics – the main counselor of Iran’s supreme leader is also among the deadly victims.
According to the agency, the man who has commanded the Islamic Republic since 1989 he has been feeling alone and with a great emptiness in his nearest circle, which opens the possibility of strategic errors. According to five sources close to the situation, Ayatola even feels that its decision process may be affected.
One of the sources, which regularly participates in meetings with Ali Khamenei, the scenario is currently “extremely dangerous” for Iran, as there is a high risk of calculation errors in relation to defense matters and internal stability.
The death of several high military commanders in just five days of conflict includes high advisers to the Islamic Revolution body, the military elite of Iran. Among them is the leader, Hossein Salami, but also the head of aerospace forces, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who headed the Iran’s ballistic program.
Men who were part of a circle near Ali Khamenei, who likes to meet around 15 to 20 counselors who spread between military commanders, clerics or politicians.
A group that meets unofficially, with Aiatola receiving the counselors in Tehran whenever they need to make an important decision. They are required an undoubted loyalty and the adoption of the ideology of the Islamic Republic.
According to Reuters, Ali Khamenei is deeply committed to maintaining the current Islamic Republic. He who was arrested and was arrested until the 1979 Revolution, which overthrew the monarchy of the Shah Pahlavi and urged, by the hand of Ayatola Ali Khomenei, a theocratic state.
It is this view that the current Supreme Leader wants to continue to preserve, in a logic of government that must follow the Islamic system and, as always since its foundation, deeply reject the Western view.
Remember that, according to the law, it is there Khamenei who has the power over the Armed Forces, competing for the declaration of war or even the appointment of the high military positions.
