'More confrontational': Iran's new hardline security leadership

🇮🇱 IsraelAug 20, 2026 02:30SRC: AL MONITOR

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Earlier this month Iranian supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei reshuffled Tehran's top security team, putting his own personal stamp on the appointments and readying the Islamic republic for a long-term confrontation with the United States. Khamenei, in power since his father Ali Khamenei was killed at the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran in February, has yet to be seen in public since taking on the top job and his health and influence remain uncertain.
