## Tehran’s Power Play: Is the Supreme Leader Losing His Grip? Iran’s foreign minister announced on April 17 that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, triggering an immediate backlash from hard‑line factions aligned with the Supreme Leader. Within hours, the Iranian armed forces reinstated the blockade, framing the reversal as a concession to U.S. pressure. The episode lays bare a brewing contest between the nation’s diplomatic corps and the Supreme Leader’s loyalist network, suggesting a possible erosion of the latter’s unilateral authority over foreign policy decisions. ### Key Takeaways - **Foreign Ministry vs. Hardliners:** Abbas Araghchi’s announcement was seized upon by Supreme Leader‑linked conservatives as evidence of capitulation, highlighting internal discord. - **Rapid Military Reversal:** The armed forces reinstated the Hormuz blockade within hours, citing external pressure and reinforcing hard‑line narratives. - **Signal of Diminishing Authority:** The swift counter‑action reflects a weakening of the Supreme Leader’s direct control over strategic decisions. - **U.S. Influence Narrative:** Tehran’s rhetoric continues to portray the United States as the primary driver of Iranian policy shifts. - **Regional Implications:** The volatility around Hormuz underscores heightened uncertainty for global oil shipments and Middle‑East security dynamics.

Despite the deaths of dozens of officials, Iran's regime shows no sign of surrender. So how can the US and Israel win this war?

Iran’s top clerical body has reportedly agreed on a successor to the late Ali Khamenei, though the new Supreme Leader of Iran has not yet been publicly named. Israel says it would target the new leader as well as other figures of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have struck fuel depots and oil infrastructure around Tehran for the first time in the nine-day war, sending thick smoke over the capital. Iran has condemned the attacks as a “war crime” and says it may delay revealing the new leader’s identity for security reasons—raising questions about how a leader can govern while remaining hidden. We discuss with Shahin Modarres, an International Security Analyst with the 'Monitoring Jihadism Project', and with DW’s Middle East expert Shani Rozanes.
