A source close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told Channel 14 journalist Dror Blazada that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has decided that the guiding policy of the IRGC commander is the determining factor in the organization's decision-making. The report is based on a single anonymous source and has not been independently verified.
The reported statement, attributed to an unnamed source close to the IRGC, signals a formal endorsement of the IRGC commander's authority at the highest level of the Iranian regime. While the identity of the IRGC commander was not specified in the report, the claim suggests that Mojtaba Khamenei has resolved any ambiguity over who sets the organization's strategic direction. The Zioneer has previously reported on IRGC leadership dynamics, including Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani's public pledge of allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei in July. However, the current report—based on a single anonymous source speaking to an Israeli journalist—should be treated as an unverified claim until corroborated by additional sources.
