⚠️ "ATASH BE EKHTIAR": Chaos in Tehran as Qalibaf Takes Control of a Fractured Military ⚠️
As the U.S.-Israeli air campaign enters its second week, explosive new reports from inside Iran suggest a regime in a state of terminal command-and-control failure. With the Supreme Leader confirmed dead and the IRGC high command decapitated, Brigadier General Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf—the Speaker of Parliament and former IRGC commander—has reportedly stepped into the void to lead the war effort.
Activists and intelligence sources report significant chaos within Iran’s military hierarchy. Many missile and drone batteries have lost contact with central command in Tehran and are now operating under "Atash be Ekhtiar" (Fire at Will).
This "autopilot" status means local commanders are making independent launch decisions without a strategic overview. While this allows the regime to claim it is still "fighting," it also reveals a desperate lack of coordination that has led to an 80%+ drop in effective missile volleys reaching their targets.
Despite the precision strikes leveling IRGC bases, those in Qalibaf’s inner circle remain strangely optimistic. They believe they can win a "war of attrition" by causing enough regional havoc to make the U.S. and Israel eventually back down.
Qalibaf’s advisors are reportedly pushing a theory that if the regime survives this initial onslaught, it will become "immune" to future attacks, having proven it can withstand the full weight of a Western coalition.
While Qalibaf talks of a "remorseful response" for the U.S., satellite imagery shows the Thar-Allah Headquarters and major drone production sites in ruins. The regime is banking on "nationalism" to save them, but the streets tell a different story of mockery and dissent.
Analysts are pointing out the simple flaw in Qalibaf’s plan: You cannot win a high-tech war when your command centers are rubble and your air defense is non-existent.
