Neither dismissal nor appointment; meaningful signs of the actual but unofficial status of the new leadership in the Islamic Republic.

Abdollah Abdi – Abdi Media

Once again, without referring to any specific individuals, I reiterate that Abdi Media’s assessments indicate that the third leader of the Islamic Republic (regardless of the fact that no live voice, image, or signature of him has been publicly released so far), in his capacity as leader or Commander-in-Chief, has not changed any of the commanders or top officials of the armed forces whose appointment and dismissal are subject to his direct order, let alone dismissed any of them.

Furthermore, none of the representatives of the Leader at any level who were directly appointed by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei have been changed, and what is stated in the media or by individuals is inaccurate analysis lacking precise information and is not reliable.

Also, as long as no official decree is issued and announced for individuals as the head of the Leader’s office and the head of the military office of the Commander-in-Chief, no person can be formally considered as holding one of the offices of “Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei,” even if they are practically performing such a role.

It should also be noted that so far, no decree has been issued by the Commander-in-Chief for any person as Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces or Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, and the responsibility of those authorities is carried out through deputies within the framework of the chain of command and security hierarchy.
