The commander of the IRGC's space force issued a statement urging supporters of the Islamic Republic to obey Mojtaba Khamenei, according to a post on an Arabic-language desk channel. The message called for a new covenant with Khamenei to realize the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, and assessed that a deep rift exists between the regime's leadership and the IRGC.
An Arabic-language desk channel posted a statement attributed to the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) space force, calling on supporters of the Islamic Republic to pledge allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei. The commander described the Iranian people as 'proud and vigilant,' stating they swore to avenge Ali Khamenei and formed a new covenant with Mojtaba Khamenei. The post itself assessed that there is a deep rift between the regime's leadership and the IRGC. The statement comes amid reports of a leadership vacuum following the death of Ali Khamenei and widespread speculation about his successor. As The Zioneer reported last week, international contact was lost with Mojtaba Khamenei during the missile escalation, and he has been reported as the new Supreme Leader. The claim of an internal rift has not been independently verified, and the source is a single source with no on-record official confirmation from Iranian state media or the IRGC's own outlets.
