On June 1, according to a report from Iran International TV based in London, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has submitted a resignation request to the Supreme Leader's office through an official letter, as revealed by an informed source. The source stated that Raisi emphasized in the letter sent on Sunday that the president and the government have effectively been excluded from the major and critical decision-making processes of the country. This situation has created a power vacuum that allows hardline factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to control the situation. Raisi added that under these circumstances, he is unable to manage the government and fulfill his legal responsibilities, thus he has requested to resign immediately. It remains unclear whether Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will accept the president's resignation, but the content of the letter indicates a profound and unprecedented rift at the highest levels of power.
