US Intel Says Iran's Khamenei Shaping War Strategy
U.S. intelligence says Mojtaba Khamenei is helping direct negotiations as Iran’s leadership stays fragmented and officials question who can commit to a deal.
- U.S. intelligence assesses that Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is "playing a crucial role" in shaping wartime strategy and directing negotiations with the United States despite remaining isolated.
- Khamenei remains isolated while receiving medical treatment for severe injuries and avoids electronics, communicating only through couriers, which prevents U.S. officials from visually confirming his location or precise authority.
- Intelligence reports indicate two-thirds of Iran's missile launchers survived recent strikes, while Tehran can likely endure the U.S. blockade for four more months without complete economic destabilization.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that Iran's system remains "fragmented," hindering the regime's ability to present unified proposals and complicating diplomatic negotiations.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held a two-and-a-half-hour meeting with Khamenei earlier this week, marking the first reported in-person contact since his injuries; officials expect updated images within one to two months.
