I don’t think anyone is in charge there.
That seems to be the issue. Whether that is by our attrition, or is the first evidence of an internal power struggle is unknown. My money is on the latter. The politicians are pulling one way, the IRGC/Basiji are pulling another. They both have their own power bases and their own troops. If we hear evidence of regular army troops firing on the IRGC or vice versa, something has shifted. Plus we don’t know what shenanigans the CIA/Mossad are up to either. If we aren’t, the Israelis certainly are.

I would say that your statement is most likely the reality. Iran has severely degraded capabilities, and regime changes are taking place on a daily basis.
