Report from Iran: Brigadier General Qalibaf, the speaker of the parliament and a former member of the Revolutionary Guard, is now fully in charge of the war.
There is significant chaos in the chain of command among Iran’s military forces. Many missile and drone launching sites have lost contact with the main command and are operating on autopilot or as it is known in Iran, Atash be Ekhtiar.
This might sound crazy to outsiders but at the moment, people in Qalibaf’s circle remain very hawkish about the war and believe they will ultimately win. They believe the United States will eventually give up, and considering the havoc the Iranian regime has caused in the region, it will become immune to future attacks.
To better illustrate this mindset, I have included screenshots of postings by one of Qalibaf’s advisers.
