On May 24, a month after his speech in Eid-Al Fitr\u2019s<\/a> prayer in which he called for unity in his regime, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was once again forced to warn his \u201cconsolidated system\u2019s\u201d officials to avoid attacking each other. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen one wants to destroy someone or looks at them as a rival, they attempt to bring each other down. This approach, whether by the government or the parliament, is dangerous,\u201d he said in a meeting with his handpicked MPs.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On April 22, Khamenei met with the heads of branches of his regime and tacitly acknowledged his failure in consolidating power in his regime, a project he began shortly after the nationwide 2019 uprising that rattled his regime\u2019s foundations. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA very important strategy is the cooperation between heads of three branches. They all should cooperate and synthesize. The constitution has created a perfect opportunity for them to work together; if so, they can overcome every problem. I advise the heads of the three branches not to block each other\u2019s path and instead to pave the way for one another,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A week later, the regime\u2019s parliament impeached Reza Fatemi Amin, the Minister of Industry, Mines, and Trade in\u202f<\/span>Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s government<\/span><\/a>, seemingly due to corruption in his Ministry. Yet, during the debates, it was revealed that he had indirectly given at least 65 SUVs to the MPs, who surprisingly voted in favor of his impeachment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In his meeting with the regime\u2019s parliamentarians on May 24, Khamenei expressed his frustration and anger over Fatemi Amin\u2019s impeachment, which also laid bare the regime\u2019s pervasive corruption.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian regime\u2019s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, delivered two speeches this week in which he made it clear the nationwide uprising and its persistence have created a deadlock for the ruling theocracy.#IranRevoIution<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Vru0CXmUhS<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) April 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
