Iran’s power structure complicates enforcing any US ceasefire

CNBC notes Iran’s Supreme Leader and Revolutionary Guards are among the overlapping power centers that would make a ceasefire harder to police.

Iran’s internal power structure is making any effort to end the war with the United States more complicated, according to CNBC Markets and CNBC World.

The coverage highlights that enforcement of a ceasefire would be difficult because authority in Iran is spread across multiple overlapping centers, from the Supreme Leader to the Revolutionary Guards.

That fragmentation, the outlet says, could complicate any attempt to ensure compliance with a ceasefire arrangement involving Washington.
