Serious disagreements have emerged between Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and IRGC chief-commander Ahmad Vahidi over how to manage the war and its damaging impact on people’s livelihoods and the economy, sources with knowledge of the matter told Iran International.
Pezeshkian has criticized the approach of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps regarding escalating tensions and continuing attacks on neighboring countries, warning about the economic consequences of the situation, according to the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
He has stressed that without a ceasefire, Iran’s economy could face total collapse within three weeks to one month, the sources said.
On March 7, Pezeshkian in a video message apologized for what he called “fire at will” attacks by the country’s armed forces on neighboring countries and instructed them to stop such attacks.
However, the attacks continued shortly after the release of his message.
Call for restoration of executive power
Informed sources told Iran International that Pezeshkian has called for executive and managerial powers to be returned to the administration, a demand that has been firmly rejected by Vahidi.
In response to the criticism, the IRGC commander blamed the current situation on the government’s failure to implement structural reforms before the conflict began, the sources said.
In recent days, Israeli media have also reported signs of divisions within Iran’s ruling system. The Times of Israel, citing a senior Israeli official, wrote: “There are signs of cracks in the Iranian regime. We are now creating conditions for its overthrow, but ultimately everything depends on the Iranian people.”
The Israeli outlet Ynet also reported similar internal divisions earlier this month.
Economic impacts
As the war enters its fifth week, its economic effects are increasingly visible. Reports from major cities indicate that many ATMs are out of cash, not functioning, or physically inaccessible, while online banking services for several major banks, including Bank Melli, are periodically disrupted.
Government employees have told Iran International that salaries and benefits for large segments of workers have not been paid regularly over the past three months.
In February, before the outbreak of the ongoing war, average inflation for basic necessities reached triple digits, estimated between 105% and 115%.

If they both get taken out, they won’t disagree any more. 😂
There is no doubt serious disagreements among the regime’s leaders. However these people are not stupid. They know what will happen to them, their families, and sycophants if they lose power. Would not take news of these arguments that the regime is badly fractured and about to collapse. It would however be a good strategic move if somehow the regime were given a real option to leave Iran safely to some Muslim area in the former Soviet Union. Dox the leaders and the goons and give them the means to voluntarily leave.
Trump has studiously left the non-IRGC/Basij guys alone, like the president and the entire C&C structure of the Artesh (the regular army).
It’s very clear they’re looking to cause an anti-mullah revolt.
They do need to start killing the judiciary, as that’s an important part of the Iranian regime’s suppression of the people.
” It would however be a good strategic move if somehow the regime were given a real option to leave Iran safely to some Muslim area in the former Soviet Union. Dox the leaders and the goons and give them the means to voluntarily leave.”
Another article said the Mossad was calling IRGC people on the phone and telling them they knew who they were, where they lived, what they drove, etc.
I would presume both safe passage and amnesty would be part of the package.
“IRGC”
It does seem in need of bombs.
“I would presume both safe passage and amnesty would be part of the package.”
Unless they committed crimes against their own people, they should be pretty safe provided they make peace with Trump.
Is that a UK publication?
I think a few strategic hits by the right folks in the CIA’s “Special Services” would send a message and send the judges scurrying.
I believe it is London-based, but it’s funded privately by Iranian ex-pats, from what I can tell.
Has tons of very local news coming from Iran.
The Persian version of the website is much more real time, with literal tips coming in to where checkpoints are. You can (kind of) read it if you translate it with your browser.
The Mossad has been killing judges left and right.
I just posted another article that discusses that.
Since Iran’s president has no power, there is no “rift” with the IRGC. The IRGC has all the power at this point.
I think there are still numerous people who need to be eliminated. 😜
Dirt naps are in their future!
“Since Iran’s president has no power, there is no “rift” with the IRGC. The IRGC has all the power at this point.”
Technically, the Supreme Leader has all the power. But he’s either dead or an injured captive of the IRGC.
It’s an interesting power structure, to be sure. The Supreme Leader picks the committee that picks the next Supreme Leader. The IRGC/Basij report to the commitee and the Supreme Leader.
The President makes day-to-day calls on the bureaucracy and economy, but only to effectuate the policies set out by the Supreme Leader. He’s not the CIC. Basically, elections are held to give a veneer of Republicanism/Democracy.
Interesting. I am starving for some authentic inside Iran news that is, well, worth a dang thing. So much to know and not a drop to drink.

Good luck!
I could live with that. 👍
The US needs to be dropping wanted posters for all IRGC leadership with their pictures and home addresses on the poster.
