IRGC Denied Mojtaba Khamenei's Request to Attend His Father's Funeral

🛡️ TEHRAN — The IRGC didn't protect Mojtaba — it confined him. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Two IRGC members tell US media Mojtaba's attendance was denied — meaning Iran's Supreme Leader cannot move without his own military's permission. This inverts the command chain: the IRGC controls the Leader, not the reverse. Doha's Iranian delegation has no authoritative principal. Washington is negotiating with a figurehead whose sovereignty is notional.
