Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The internal split is linked to economic concerns, as Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati warned of looming shortages of essential goods. Furthermore, US intelligence warned that assassinating Ali Khamenei could lead to a more radical government willing to block the Strait of Hormuz.

Donald Trump signed an MoU with Masoud Pezeshkian to end the US-Iran war, and Donald Trump also announced a deal with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz involving Oman.
