That Iran’s governance system is not quite a democracy or a theocracy is a fact. Whatever it is it has shown profound resilience in the face of intense military and economic pressure. Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian’s one of the remarks that he has made during his visit to the interior ministry perhaps acts as a moment of sudden realization or enlightenment that could shift your perspective.
It clearly solves the “puzzle” of how Iran, the 17th largest country in the world by area and 17th most populous country in the world, is being governed during war amid comprehensive government’s authority across the country. Expressing gratitude to provincial governors across the country for their role amid the war, he has reportedly stated: “we have granted full authority to the governors, and in terms of management, they have the same powers as the president’.
