The French newspaper Le Figaro reported that following unprecedented attacks in June, the Supreme Leader of Iran has lost significant flexibility in decision-making and often resides in underground bunkers. Internal distrust and external pressure have left Khamenei's regime in a fragile position. This situation must either evolve into a new political mechanism or risk descending into further crises.

Observers note that for the first time during Khamenei's absolute rule, he perceives himself as "alone" against internal critics. His consolidation of "all power" has weakened the symbols of absolute authority within the Velayat-e Faqih system, suggesting that any decline in Khamenei's power could signal the end of the Islamic Republic.
