[00:00:24][music] >> Iran's power structure has undergone a dramatic wartime reset.

[00:00:32]As per a report from Reuters, the killing of Ali Khamenei has ended decades of one-man clerical dominance, triggering a shift toward a tighter, security-driven system.

[00:00:44]At the center of this transformation is the rising influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, now steering both war strategy and state policy.

[00:00:57]At the apex [music] is Mojtaba Khamenei, but insiders say his authority is limited. He appears to endorse decisions rather than dictate them, with real power now concentrated within the Supreme National Security Council and senior IRGC leadership.

[00:01:19]This shift has reshaped Iran's approach to the United States.

[00:01:24]Decision-making has slowed, with officials indicating responses can take [music] days, reflecting the absence of a single command authority and reliance on collective security consensus.

[00:01:39]Despite sustained pressure from the US and Israel, Iran's system shows no visible fractures.

[00:01:45]Instead, a unified hardline core is dictating policy, resisting compromise, leveraging strategic choke points, and signaling that any flexibility could be perceived as weakness.

[00:02:00]What has emerged is a decisive shift from clerical authority to military dominance.

[00:02:07]Analysts say Iran is now governed less by religious hierarchy and more by hard power, with the IRGC firmly in control of the country's wartime trajectory.
