High-ranking members of the reformist camp close to President Masoud Pezeshkian have been arrested in Iran. The actions of security forces indicate a growing internal rift within the Iranian leadership and a sharp escalation in the struggle between those who advocate dialogue with the West and the hard-line Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
According to Iranian sources, the arrests were carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Key figures from the so-called reformist wing, which supported negotiations with the United States and opposed the escalation of the regional conflict, were targeted. Among those detained was Azar Mansouri, head of the Reformist Front and secretary general of the People's Party of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which played a key role in Pezeshkian's victory in the presidential election.
Mansouri had previously publicly condemned the deaths of protesters during recent mass protests, calling them a disaster and declaring that violence against civilians cannot be justified. Also arrested were Ibrahim Asgharzadeh, who headed the political committee of the Reformist Front, and Mohsen Aminzadeh, who served as deputy foreign minister under the previous president.
The Iranian prosecutor's office accused the detainees of attempting to destabilize the country. The official statement claimed that the reformists allegedly conducted "large-scale organizational activities in cyberspace and behind the scenes" in an attempt to destabilize the political and social situation amid pressure from the US and Israel.
In addition, two more representatives of the Reformist Front were summoned by the police for questioning, which may indicate an expansion of the repressive campaign.
These developments demonstrate a deepening crisis within the Iranian elite. The arrests of members of the current president's inner circle effectively undermine Pezeshkian's position and demonstrate that real power remains in the hands of structures loyal to Khamenei. The increasing pressure on moderates and reformists points to the regime's fear of internal dissension amid sanctions, the threat of war, and growing public discontent.
Recall, Khamenei crushed the protests that swept across the country last month, but only by unleashing the bloodiest crackdown of his nearly four decades in power.
Now, with an American flotilla nearby, the 86-year-old Khamenei is trying to avert a potential U.S. attack. He has warned that if U.S. President Donald Trump strikes, a regional war will ensue. At the same time, he is allowing Iran to enter negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program, reversing his previous rejection of talks.
The ferocious suppression of the protests is a sign of how deep a threat Khamenei and Iran's leadership see in the widespread popular anger. Years of sanctions, economic mismanagement and corruption have gutted Iran's economy, hitting its once-large middle class hard. Chants of "Death to Khamenei!" during January's protests underscored how economic woes have turned to resentment of clerical rule.
Popular discontent is not the only strain on the theocratic system that Khamenei heads. Israeli and U.S. bombardment during last summer's 12-day war heavily damaged Iran's nuclear program, missile systems and military capabilities. And Iran's network of regional proxies that includes Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon — dubbed the "Axis of Resistance" — has crumbled in recent years, setting back its ability to wield influence across the Middle East.
