Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sent a letter to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei<\/a>‘s office submitting his resignation, London-based anti-regime outlet Iran International reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

An anonymous official told Iran International that the letter had called out the fact that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> had effectively taken over large portions of the government, and that the president and other high-ranking officials had been cut out of vital decision-making.<\/p>\n

Pezeshkian, the letter emphasized, was unable to run the government or fulfill his responsibilities under the circumstances, and as such, requested to resign.<\/p>\n

Anonymous sources told Iran International that the primary source of the differences between Pezeshkian<\/a> and the head of the IRGC, who is believed to currently hold the lion’s share of power in the regime, was “the way the war was managed and its destructive consequences on the people’s livelihoods and the country’s economy.”<\/p>\n

Last week, US officials revealed to CBS that Khamenei is hidden in a secret location with little access to the outside world, only reachable through a “labyrinth” of couriers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even the highest officials in the Iranian government are unaware of his location and are not able to directly contact him, the officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sent a letter to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei‘s office submitting his resignation, London-based anti-regime…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":996833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[774,81673,81305,2585,235123,12,14532,26],"class_list":["post-996832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-iran","tag-irgc","tag-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps","tag-masoud-pezeshkian","tag-mojtaba-khamenei","tag-news","tag-tehran","tag-world"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116670726814729537","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=996832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/996833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=996832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=996832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=996832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
