Iran Supreme Leader's Medical Crisis

The leadership of the Islamic Republic is facing an internal crisis as Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei remains in hiding due to life-altering injuries.

Analysts suggest that his physical incapacitation has allowed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to seize greater control over state affairs, shifting Iran toward a board-style military leadership.

Security concerns have led to a total clampdown on visitors, with fears that foreign intelligence could use his location to launch a follow-up assassination attempt.

The situation remains fluid as the US maintains its naval blockade and Israel awaits a 'green light' for further strikes.
