Iran Elevates Security Leadership as Hormuz Tensions Escalate

ISW-CTP notes Iran is pursuing proactive military actions and a strategic information campaign aimed at framing attacks as deterrence, while appointing Mohsen Rezaei as SNSC secretary—a move signaling a hardline stance to preserve control of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran warns against states aiding the US and says talks with Washington won’t resume while the US violates a June MoU, while the Houthis attack a Saudi Aramco refinery in Jizan; regional defense pacts with Turkey and Pakistan highlight a broader security front. Iran’s stated aims include securing recognition of Hormuz control, degrading US war-willingness, restoring deterrence, and dividing the US/Israel from Arab states.

Partial Internet Return Reveals Tehran's Power Struggle

Iran has partially restored international internet access after a nearly three-month blackout, triggering a public clash within the ruling elite as hardliners challenge President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration over who controls internet governance. A newly formed “special headquarters” to manage reconnection faces legal pushback from conservative factions, while NetBlocks reports ongoing heavy filtering and about 60% of normal connectivity. The episode highlights tensions between hardline elements aligned with the Supreme Council of Cyberspace and security bodies, revealing a fraught struggle over access to the global web.

Iran's Real Power: IRGC Dominance Shapes Talks Behind the Scenes

Trump said the U.S. is in talks with a 'top' Iranian official, even as Tehran publicly denies negotiations, underscoring a widening gap between Washington and Tehran. Analysts say the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps now dominates Iran’s political-military system while the state appears weaker and more fragmented, with the Supreme National Security Council coordinating policy under IRGC influence. Figures like Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are seen as potential interlocutors, though others such as Abbas Araghchi may function mainly as channels rather than policy-makers. The situation points to a divided leadership united mainly by a desire to preserve the regime.

Iran's Power Broker Ali Larijani Killed in Airstrike, Reshaping Tehran's War Calculus

Iran's top security official Ali Larijani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, was reportedly killed in overnight Israeli strikes—a strategic blow that removes a trusted insider who helped shape Iran's nuclear posture, war strategy and potential diplomatic channels. The loss could harden Tehran's resolve and shift power dynamics, though the system is designed to absorb leadership losses; the report also notes the killing of Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and related U.S. actions in the broader conflict.
