- There is still uncertainty over the whereabouts of the Supreme Leader.
US Iran War: Amidst fears of a second round of peace talks with America in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, a big news has come out from Iran. It is being said in many reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is allegedly increasing its control over the major centers of power in the country. After this action of IRGC, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has been marginalized and completely stuck in political deadlock.
According to the report of Iran International, the IRGC has banned the appointments and decisions of the President and has taken the country’s Supreme Leader Khamenei under a security cordon. With this, executive control of the Iranian government is now effectively separated.
IRGC ban on appointment of Intelligence Minister
According to Fox News and Iran International, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian tried to appoint a new Intelligence Minister on Thursday (April 16, 2026) last week, but his attempt failed after the intervention of IRGC Chief Commander Ahmed Vahidi. In addition, all proposed candidates for the post of minister were rejected, including the name of Hussein Dehghan.

According to Fox News, IRGC Chief Commander Ahmed Vahidi emphasized this and said, ‘The country is currently going through a situation of war. Keeping these circumstances in mind, all important and sensitive positions should be selected and examined directly by the IRGC. Unless any new information is given in this regard.
How does the President appoint in Iran?
According to Iran’s political system, the President usually nominates intelligence ministers only after getting the approval of the country’s Supreme Leader, because the Supreme Leader has the final authority over the country’s major security departments.
Where is Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei?
In fact, for the last few weeks, no clear and concrete information has come to light about the status and whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and the approval of the Supreme Leader is very important for the appointment of the Intelligence Minister. Keeping this in mind, IRGC has stopped President Masoud Pezeshkian from appointing his favorite candidate.
