As the clerical dictatorship in Iran approaches the formation of its new cabinet, internal power struggles and factional disputes have escalated, highlighting deep divisions within the regime. Various prominent figures and factions have publicly clashed, reflecting the high stakes involved in the selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hashim Hosseini Bushehri, the Friday Prayer Leader in Qom, warned the regime\u2019s president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian to select cabinet members who align with Ebrahim Raisi’s policies and have the Supreme Leader\u2019s approval. “The President should choose collaborators who continue Raisi’s path and have been commended by the Supreme Leader,” <\/span>Bushehri commanded<\/span><\/a> during his sermon on July 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, Ahmad Alamolhoda, the Supreme Leader\u2019s representative in Mashhad, cautioned Pezeshkian against any divergence from Ali Khamenei\u2019s directives, especially in foreign policy. Alamolhoda criticized previous administrations that had conflicts with the Supreme Leader, attributing their failures to such disagreements. “Every government that diverged from the Supreme Leader, particularly in foreign policy, brought only misery to the nation,” <\/span>he asserted<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover on Saturday, in a meeting with members of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly in Mashhad, <\/span>Alamalhoda <\/span><\/a>warned: “Our primary concern today is related to this very foreign policy, to ensure that the implementation in this area does not proceed in a manner contrary to the country’s interests, the people’s welfare, and the principles of the revolution and the regime.”<\/span><\/p>\n
