  Written by Mohammad Sadat Khansari Three-minute read Internal conflict within Iran’s clerical regime has escalated as officials in the outgoing Raisi administration attempt to solidify their faction’s influence through a series of last-minute appointments. Despite a formal protest letter from  Masoud Pezeshkian  and an alleged directive from acting president  Mohammad Mokhber  to halt all changes before a new government takes office, these actions have persisted, sparking a heated battle with the regime’s president-elect.

However, the recent sudden rise of  Masoud Pezeshkian  in the political landscape has left many politicians and analysts puzzled. Speculations about this decision are abundant, with supporting arguments for various theories. However, what is clear are the realities Khamenei is facing: After 24 years of false promises about real change from within the regime by figures like Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Khatami, and Hassan Rouhani, no serious political force or Western govern
