India Caught in Iran's Power Struggle as IRGC Derails Safe Passage Talks
•India's efforts for safe passage in West Asia are uncertain due to a power struggle between Iran's civilian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
•Iranian government officials showed willingness to halt attacks, but the IRGC continued strikes, disregarding diplomatic outreach.
•The IRGC claims it's bound by a 'to-do list' from the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, complicating India's engagement.
•Mojtaba Khamenei's emergence as Supreme Leader has emboldened hardliners, leading to escalated regional strikes despite apologies.
•The IRGC's 'Mosaic Doctrine' and 'scattered command execution' allow it to operate independently, impacting India's energy and connectivity interests.
