Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are seeking to remove Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi from his position, Iran International reported.
According to the report, which quoted two sources familiar with the matter, Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf believe that Araghchi is following instructions from Iranian Revolutionary Guard chief Ahmad Vahidi on matters relating to nuclear talks - without informing Pezeshkian. Thus, in the opinions of Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf, Araghchi is no longer acting as a cabinet minister as much as he is acting as an aide to Vahidi, who is reportedly the most powerful figure in the IRGC.
The sources said that Araghchi has acted for two weeks without informing Pezeshkian and in full coordination with Vahidi; Pezeshkian has told sources close to him that he will fire Araghchi if this behavior continues.
The report also said that the IRGC had usurped Pezeshkian's authority, insisting that this was a necessary move due to the war.

That is a good metaphor describing the IRGC. They are indeed maggots, just like most members of the democrat party. /spit
No wonder they identify with the Ayatoilet-ocracy. They dream of the same totalitarian rule.
And they have to go.
Amen.
Why doesn’t Israel take out Vahidi?
Leave him on a street corner, give us the address and we’ll take care of it
Good news!
So many targets, so little time.
In The Irishman, obsessive anti-Trump-in-real-life De Niro carries around a dead fish in the car seat after killing Jimmy Hoffa. Various movie critic interpretations. From my POV it’s a metaphor for DeNiro’s dumbth on multiple levels. He seems to be a leader in Hollywood.
Which US carrier will be the target?
Maybe the GR Ford before it heads back to its home port, they’ll take a pot shot, claim that they crippled it, and that it’s scampering away with its tail between its legs.
In the Godfather, the dead fish was to inform the Godfather that his henchman “sleeps with the fishies”.

Iran International (Persian: ایران اینترنشنال, romanized: Irān Internašnāl) is a Persian-language satellite television channel and multilingual digital news operation based in London, United Kingdom.
No propaganda here.
Sally Bugs: What kind of fish? Chuckie O'Brien: What? Sally Bugs: What kind of fish? Chuckie O'Brien: I don't know... The kind you eat? A fish! Sally Bugs: You don't know what kind? Chuckie O'Brien: No I don't. Sally Bugs: Where'd you get it? Chuckie O'Brien: What the ****? A fish place!
fish = death I guess. Both leave a smell.
It’s time to stop talking about anti-Regime websites as “anti-Iran”. The Regime is not Iran, and Iran is not the Regime. Hopefully, a newer, happier Iran will emerge after the dust settles. Being in favor of that, trying to bring that about, is not “anti-Iran”.
