The Islamic Republic is showing a MAJOR internal fracture at the highest levels in real time.
After Araghchi and Trump both claimed the Strait of Hormuz is “open,” IRGC-linked Fars News is now openly questioning officials, warning of confusion inside the country, and demanding explanations for the silence.
At the same time, IRGC messaging via state TV makes clear that passage is still controlled, restricted, and under military oversight.
Across the regime’s support base, pro-Basij and IRGC-aligned channels are fuming, with visible anger over this so-called agreement to open the strait.
This exposes a direct contradiction between the diplomatic narrative and the military reality.
Even regime-aligned media is now signaling that something doesn’t add up.
