DOMINANT ANGLE
Tehran transforms ceasefire into arena of internal power struggle between reformers and Revolutionary Guards
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Tehran experiences the ceasefire as internal power struggle as much as diplomatic event. Iran International reveals regime factions dispute credit for the truce: reformers see proof diplomacy works, hardline Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) present military resistance as decisive factor forcing Washington to negotiate. This domestic narrative battle is more revealing than agreement itself — it shows fractured regime where each camp mobilizes truce for own political ambitions. Hezbollah question crystallizes tensions: for Tehran, ceasefire excluding its principal regional ally is not peace agreement but strategic trap. Iran openly threatens to break truce if Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon continue, thereby linking two conflict theaters Washington tries to separate. The Strait of Hormuz remains Tehran's ultimate lever: even under ceasefire, Iran retains capacity to close passage in hours, keeping ultimate negotiation card.
