There are factional disagreements within Iran among hardliners, pragmatists (such as supporters of President Pahlavikian’s reformists), and various security and military agencies. On March 7, Pahlavikian apologized to Gulf neighbors in a televised speech and promised to cease attacks (unless the attacks originate from these countries), but hours later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement warning that if hostile actions continue, they will respond with “overwhelming force” against U.S. and Israeli bases in the region. Subsequently, Pahlavikian’s office issued a clarification, omitting the initial apology.
Yesterday (March 12), the new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, did not appear publicly or deliver a live video address in his first major statement, but instead the state television broadcast the statement in written form.
