Iranian High Leader Ali Khamenei has been engaged in the fact that he cleared the government of all except the sinks, and is now surrounded by mediocrity, writes Foreign Affairs.
”Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is a laconic apparatchik who lacks the imagination to cope with difficult situations. The head of the judiciary hesitates between a call to the dialogue with the opposition and threats. The vaunted Iranian special services missed the beginning of the rebellion and could not deal with its scale” – writes the publication.
