For Khamenei, Preserving Power is an “Opportunity”
The letter sent by US President Donald Trump to Iran’s Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei reflects the elements of a “pressure for bargain” campaign. #Trump’s statement, “We would prefer to reach a nuclear agreement with #Iran, otherwise, another option will be pursued to resolve the issue,” can be viewed as a diplomatic and political maneuver designed to encourage renewed cooperation between Washington and Tehran. After the announcement of
Trump’s letter, Iran’s ruling elite rejected any negotiations with the United States. However, Mr. Khamenei, as a shrewd political figure, may be interested in securing guarantees from the US to ensure the preservation of his power.
Brief concept:
– While Khamenei is the figurehead of anti-US ideological rhetoric, both Washington and Israel maintain comprehensive intelligence reports about his personal life, ranging from his holiday schedule to his daily work routine. Despite this, Khamenei’s security is not solely tied to Iran’s internal political establishment but also serves the interests of both the United States and Israel.
– Mr. Khamenei outlines ideological frameworks that align potential military operations by the US and Israel with narratives focused on safeguarding and preserving his legacy within Iran.
