The regime\u2019s attempts to project strength have instead highlighted its vulnerabilities and the fear gripping its leadership.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a display of bravado, IRGC commander-in-chief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.com\/fa\/news\/1403\/10\/03\/3224317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hossein Salami appeared<\/a> on a warship in Bandar Abbas to claim that Iran\u2019s regional influence remains intact. \u201cThey want to say Iran has lost its regional arms. The remarks of Imam Khamenei about the Zionists were not analysis but the exact reality,\u201d Salami declared, in a clear attempt to deflect attention from the collapse of Bashar al-Assad&#8217;s regime in Syria. To reassure demoralized forces, he added, \u201cThis inexhaustible power in our hands will show the true meaning of resistance and strength when conditions for its emergence\u2014provided by the enemy\u2014are met.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etemadonline.com\/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D8%A8%DB%8C%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D9%84-17\/691264-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%AA-%D8%B3%D9%81%DB%8C%D8%B1-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%87\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Esmail Baghaee dismissed<\/a> international efforts to dissolve Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, claiming such decisions rest with the region\u2019s actors. \u201cThe Americans or other parties, who have never wished well for the region, cannot pressure countries to determine their methods of self-defense,\u201d he said, reflecting the regime\u2019s fear of losing its influence in Iraq and beyond.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Syria?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Syria<\/a>\u2019s Regime Change Shakes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tehran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tehran<\/a> to Its Core<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ADsRiQDtSW\">https:\/\/t.co\/ADsRiQDtSW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1866748503478927794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Domestically, the regime\u2019s worsening economic crisis has heightened tensions. Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein <a href=\"https:\/\/snn.ir\/fa\/news\/1207605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohseni Eje\u2019i urged<\/a> security agencies to collaborate closely to prevent unrest. \u201cThe enemy is fiercely attempting to create psychological insecurity among the people through various forms of disinformation,\u201d he said, echoing the regime\u2019s fear of growing public discontent and attempts to link domestic unrest to foreign conspiracies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The collapse of the Assad regime in Syria has particularly unnerved Tehran, which relied heavily on Damascus as a key regional ally. In an effort to rally internal forces, regime media have amplified anti-opposition rhetoric. The regime\u2019s Supreme Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/khamenei-digs-in-as-assads-fall-rattles-tehran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ali Khamenei has refused<\/a> to acknowledge that Assad was overthrown by the overwhelming majority of the Syrian population, instead labeling it a \u201cWestern-Zionist conspiracy.\u201d His denial reflects a deeper fear of parallels to his own situation, as the people of Iran have been calling for his ousting for decades. Despite this defiance, criticism of the regime\u2019s costly and failing regional strategy is increasingly surfacing within its own ranks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his remarks at the Imam Hossein University on December 23, the regime\u2019s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entekhab.ir\/fa\/news\/840361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ghalibaf delved deeper<\/a> into the internal and external pressures facing the regime, revealing the extent of the dissent among its ranks. He pointed out that critics, both domestic and international, are challenging the regime&#8217;s strategic decisions, particularly its involvement in Syria.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Khamenei?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Khamenei<\/a>\u2019s Crisis Speech Highlights Declining Power Amid Strategic Setbacks<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/70C6PGIKSg\">https:\/\/t.co\/70C6PGIKSg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1870885513294737809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 22, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSome say, \u2018You lacked the strength to stand your ground,\u2019 or, \u2018You invested resources and gained nothing.\u2019 Others claim, \u2018You should have known Syria would fall.\u2019\u201d Ghalibaf acknowledged these criticisms but sought to frame them as part of a broader psychological war waged by the regime&#8217;s enemies. \u201cThere are those who argue that we should accept global powers and align with the new world order, claiming that our national security and interests depend on it,\u201d he said, warning against any form of compromise or retreat that could fracture the regime\u2019s ideological foundation. +<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to the turmoil, reports of infighting among Iran\u2019s proxies and allies have further embarrassed the regime. The recent killing of senior Quds Force officer Keyumars Pourhashemi in Syria, allegedly by a Syrian military officer, has raised questions about Tehran\u2019s ability to maintain control over its operations. To counter these claims, the regime has insisted that Pourhashemi was killed by an American infiltrator, attempting to shift blame and preserve its narrative of strength.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mohammad-Jafar Asadi, Deputy Inspector of the Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters and a former IRGC commander in Syria <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entekhab.ir\/fa\/news\/840470\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the state-run Entekhab<\/a>: \u201cThese statements are nothing but Israeli fabrications aimed at driving a wedge between Iran, the Syrian army, and Bashar al-Assad.

Hamshahri, a regime-aligned newspaper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamshahrionline.ir\/news\/910999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed that MEK<\/a> and NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi are pushing for a \u201cdomino effect\u201d to topple Tehran following Assad\u2019s collapse. The paper accused the MEK of coordinating with \u201cAmerican-Zionist operatives\u201d to destabilize Iran, highlighting the regime\u2019s paranoia over the organization\u2019s influence and its potential role in fueling unrest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In another sign of desperation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.com\/fa\/news\/1403\/10\/03\/3224635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Tasnim News<\/em><\/a>, affiliated with the IRGC, alleged that rumors about Masoud Pezeshkian\u2019s resignation were part of a coordinated psychological operation led by the MEK. \u201cThis shows a coordinated effort between foreign groups and internal dissenters to destabilize the state,\u201d the outlet claimed, underscoring the regime\u2019s increasing reliance on conspiracy theories to justify its struggles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Tehran\u2019s leaders attempt to hold their ground, their statements reveal a regime deeply rattled by its own failures. The collapse of regional allies, the threat of domestic uprisings, and the resurgence of its ideological opponents have pushed the regime into a state of unprecedented fear and insecurity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last 24 hours, statements by Iranian officials have exposed the growing dread within the regime as it struggles to contain the
