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.

NATO Rules Out Expelling Members Amid US-Spain Tensions Over Iran War No Legal Path to Suspend NATO Members NATO has made it clear that its founding treaty does not allow any member to be suspended or removed. This statement came after reports claimed the United States was considering action against Spain due to its position on the Iran conflict. A NATO official confirmed that the alliance has no legal mechanism to expel or suspend any country. This clarification directly challenges the speculation about possible punitive steps. US Frustration With Allies Grows Reports suggested that a Pentagon email discussed ways to respond to allies that did not support the US campaign against Iran. The same message also raised questions about reviewing the US stance on the United Kingdom’s claim to the Falkland Islands. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized NATO allies. He believes they are not contributing enough, especially after recent military actions involving Iran. Spain Rejects Claims and Stands Firm Spain strongly denied the reports. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said decisions are based on official policies, not internal emails. He stressed that Spain supports cooperation with allies but only within international law. Spain has also refused to allow US forces to use its air bases for attacks on Iran. This includes key locations like Naval Station Rota and Morón Air Base. UK Takes a Measured Approach The United Kingdom has taken a different path. It allowed the US to use its bases for strikes targeting Iranian positions. British aircraft have also joined missions to intercept Iranian drones. However, Prime Minister Keir Starmer made it clear that deeper involvement in the conflict is not in the country’s best interest. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Key Concern The Strait of Hormuz continues to be a critical global shipping route. Iran’s restrictions in the area have raised concerns worldwide. Several European countries, including the UK and France, have said they are ready to help secure the route. However, this support depends on a ceasefire or the end of the conflict. US Calls for Greater European Action US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth openly criticized European allies. He said Europe relies heavily on the Strait of Hormuz and should take more responsibility. He added that the era of depending on US protection is coming to an end. According to him, allies must move beyond discussions and take real action.
