In response to the repeated questions from friends asking about the analysis of the country's upcoming situation, I should say...

As long as the hard core of power does not make a tangible change in the overarching political sphere, and the pattern of dealing with internal and external crises of the Islamic Republic remains as it is; my reference is solely to the recent analytical note, which follows multiple notes that have been written over the past few years on Abdi Media.  

All public political movements of the court and political figures—from Sheikh Hassan to other sheikhs, sayyids, officials, and claimants to power—have no legitimacy for the hard core of power and the main behind-the-scenes decision-makers, as long as they do not take on a real operational role.  

We need to be somewhat patient and, at this sensitive real phase of the Islamic Republic, observe whether there is confrontation or understanding between Ayatollah and the President.  

Everything else is just analysis, media hype, and manufactured waves.
