Khamenei-relative cleric pushes 'Islamic government' with 250,000-strong recruitment plan
Iranian cleric Mohammad-Bagher Kharrazi, related by marriage to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, calls for replacing the Islamic Republic with an 'Islamic government' and outlines a plan to mobilize about 250,000 supporters to encircle government ministries. He has been summoned to the Special Clerical Court and is under criminal investigation. The video’s assertions about a shadow government and leadership changes are not independently verifiable, but the episode highlights intra-elite tensions and public discontent with clerical rule.
