flag Iran staged photos of Khamenei praying to project strength amid internal and external pressures.

flag Iran released staged photos of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praying at Ayatollah Khomeini’s tomb, marking his first public appearance in weeks. flag The images, issued on January 31, are seen as an effort to project strength amid internal strain on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which faces challenges from ongoing protests. flag Opposition groups say the display aims to boost morale within a weakened security force rather than reassure the public. flag The timing coincided with the European Parliament’s push to designate the IRGC as a terrorist group and increased U.S. military presence in the region, prompting Iran to issue threats of escalation.
