This episode reveals a seismic rift between the pragmatic diplomatic wing and the radical military faction, exacerbated after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. While President Donald Trump seeks to secure a ceasefire, the reality on the ground is different: Iran no longer speaks with one voice. Analysts warn that the West is making a fatal mistake by treating the country as a clearly hierarchical structure, when in reality the IRGC acts as a parallel state with veto power over any diplomatic progress.

But the most chilling part is that, in this case, Minister Araghchi himself learned of the IRGC's counterattack from international news headlines, not through his official channels. Never before has the humiliation of the government been so public or so dangerous.
