Click here to read a transcript.
Amid the fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, there are increasing reports of Tehran facing mounting internal tension. President Donald Trump has described the regime as “seriously fractured.” Emerging reports suggest Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei remains incapable of leading Iran alone after sustaining severe injuries during the war, prompting confusion regarding who’s really in charge of Tehran.
Without a unified government front, the Iranian regime’s stability lies in jeopardy.
To discuss the status of Iran’s regime and the prospects for its collapse, JINSA hosted a webinar featuring Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Senior Fellow Dr. Ray Takeyh, and Iran International Executive Director Mehdi Parpanchi.
JINSA Vice President for Policy Blaise Misztal moderated the conversation.
