In an article posted on Tuesday by Moscow’s Ria Novosti news agency, Maria Yefi Mova and Igor Kryuchkov wrote, “In an unprecedented move, [the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei called on the Iranian regime’s key political figures, including [the mullahs’ President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad to cease a power struggle, because such divisions serve to weaken the regime.”
“If such political divisions were to deepen further, then the Iranian regime might find itself on the brink of a downfall in light of the worsening and unstable economic situation,” Mova and Kryuchkov wrote.
