flag Iran’s power remains stable under Khamenei’s absence due to a loyalist network spanning key institutions.

flag Iran’s political system remains stable despite Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s prolonged public absence, according to a report by United Against Nuclear Iran. flag The report attributes this resilience to the Bayt-e Rahbari, a vast network established in 1989 that spans Iran’s military, government, and economic sectors, with over 4,000 core staff and 40,000 affiliated personnel. flag This institution ensures Khamenei’s influence through loyalists in key positions, including the IRGC and intelligence agencies. flag While recent leadership changes, such as Ali Larijani’s appointment, have occurred, there is no evidence of a fundamental shift in power. flag The report concludes that Iran’s institutionalized loyalty system ensures continuity, even in the event of Khamenei’s death or incapacitation.
