- Iran appointed IRGC founder Mohsen Rezaei as the new secretary of the Supreme National Security Council amid a period of leadership turnover and conflicting diplomatic signals.
- Trump is shifting toward a strategy of economic pressure against Iran, according to the report.
Why it matters: Putting an IRGC founder — a hardliner with deep ties to the Revolutionary Guard — at the head of Iran's top security body makes Tehran's negotiating posture harder to read and raises the cost of any economic pressure campaign for the Trump administration.
