The internal Iranian power struggle over control of the Strait of Hormuz has escalated into public insults. According to a new report, the Iranian navy broadcast messages yesterday referring to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as an idiot. The broadcasts explicitly stated that the strait would only be opened upon direct orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, contradicting Araghchi's earlier diplomatic announcement. This public rebuke highlights the deep rift between the military hardliners and more moderate diplomatic factions within the regime.
