Who Is Really Running Iran Right Now Leadership at the Top Looks Unclear Iran’s political system officially places ultimate authority in the hands of the supreme leader. After the death of Ali Khamenei at the start of the conflict with the United States and Israel, his son Mojtaba Khamenei was reported to have taken over the role. In theory, this position controls major national decisions, including war strategy, foreign policy, and security direction. In practice, the situation now appears far less clear. Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since assuming power. His absence has created uncertainty inside and outside Iran about who is actually directing the state. Limited Visibility and Growing Questions There are few confirmed signs of direct leadership activity. Only a small number of written messages have been released under his name, including statements about key military positions. Reports from Iranian sources suggest he may have been injured during early strikes in the conflict. His condition and ability to communicate have not been independently confirmed. This lack of visibility has weakened the usual signals of leadership. In Iran, public presence and speeches are often used to show authority and control. That pattern is missing now. Power Appears Less Centralized Observers note that decision making inside Iran now seems more divided than before. Instead of a single clear authority, multiple institutions appear to be involved in shaping outcomes. Some believe the leadership transition happened too quickly for full control to be established. Others point to internal disruption caused by ongoing military pressure. The result is a system where direction is harder to read, and authority is less clearly concentrated at the top. Diplomacy Continues but with Limits Iran’s foreign ministry continues to engage in diplomatic talks with the United States under President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. However, their influence appears limited. Strategic decisions do not seem to come directly from the diplomatic team. At times, contradictions have appeared in official messaging, including mixed signals over key security issues. This suggests that diplomacy is reacting to events rather than shaping them. Parliamentary leadership has also taken a visible role in negotiations, adding another layer to an already complex structure. Military and Political Tracks Not Fully Aligned Military decision making appears to operate on a separate track from diplomacy. This has created inconsistencies in messaging and strategy. Officials involved in talks often adjust positions quickly, reflecting shifting instructions or unclear authority lines. This divide has reinforced the perception that Iran’s internal leadership structure is under strain during the conflict. Conclusion: A System Under Pressure Iran’s leadership is formally defined but practically difficult to observe at the moment. The absence of a visible central figure, combined with fragmented decision making, has created uncertainty at the highest level of the state.

Condom Prices Expected to Rise Amid Global Supply Disruptions The world’s largest condom manufacturer, Karex, is preparing to raise prices as the ongoing Iran war continues to disrupt global supply chains. The company’s CEO, Goh Miah Kiat, said costs have increased sharply, forcing the firm to consider price hikes of up to 30% or even higher if the situation does not improve. Karex produces over five billion condoms each year and supplies major international brands as well as public health systems. However, rising production expenses are putting pressure on the company’s pricing strategy. Oil Supply Crisis Driving Production Costs Higher The conflict has severely affected global oil flows, especially through the Strait of Hormuz. This key route usually carries a large share of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. Disruptions in this region have increased the cost of oil and related materials. Karex depends on oil-based inputs such as ammonia and silicone. Ammonia helps preserve latex, while silicone is used in lubricants. As oil prices rise, these materials become more expensive, directly impacting manufacturing costs. Shipping Delays and Rising Demand Add Pressure Shipping delays and higher freight charges are making the situation worse. At the same time, global demand for condoms has increased by around 30% this year. This combination of strong demand and limited supply is pushing prices upward. Goh explained that economic uncertainty often leads to higher demand. Many people prefer to delay having children during unstable times, which increases the need for contraception. Wider Impact on Global Consumer Prices The effects of the conflict are not limited to condoms. Airline ticket prices have also increased, with economy fares rising significantly compared to last year. Disruptions in the Gulf region have raised fertiliser costs and caused shortages of helium, which is important for chip manufacturing. Other industries are feeling the pressure as well. Bottled water producers, for example, are struggling to secure raw materials due to supply chain issues. Outlook Remains Uncertain If the conflict continues, more industries could face similar cost increases. For now, consumers may need to prepare for higher prices on everyday products, including essential health items like condoms.

Early detection hopes grow for endometriosis with new scan method A long wait for diagnosis Endometriosis affects around one in ten women in the United Kingdom. It is a painful condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other parts of the body. Many women face a long delay before getting a clear diagnosis. On average, it can take about nine years. During this time, symptoms often continue without explanation. Common symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, severe period pain, tiredness, and pain in the stomach, lower back, or pelvic region. These signs are often confused with other health problems. New scan technique shows promise Researchers at Oxford University have tested a new imaging approach that could help detect endometriosis earlier. The method combines detailed CT scans with a special molecular tracer. This tracer helps highlight early signs of the condition that standard scans usually miss. Doctors currently rely on ultrasound and MRI scans in many cases. However, these tests often fail to detect early stages of endometriosis. They are more effective when the disease is already advanced. Dr Tatjana Gibbons, who led the research, explained that many patients are told their scans are normal even when symptoms continue. She noted that earlier detection could help people make better decisions about their health and future. Impact on patients and real life experience For many women, the path to diagnosis is difficult and frustrating. Gabriella Pearson, co founder of the Menstrual Health Project, experienced symptoms for more than a decade before receiving a diagnosis at the age of 23. She went through several misdiagnoses during that time. She believes earlier recognition of her symptoms could have significantly changed her life and outcomes. Why earlier diagnosis matters A faster and more accurate diagnosis could reduce long periods of uncertainty. It may also help patients access treatment and support sooner. Researchers say the new scan technique still needs larger studies before it can be used widely. However, early results suggest it could become an important tool in improving women’s health care.
