Will the IRGC stage a coup and take over the leadership of Iran?

I posed that question to Google Search and this was the AI response. We hear very little about this from our worthless Media. It seemed pretty obvious to me that the Regime has lost Command and Control and the IRGC is asserting itself.

AI Overview

As of April 2026, reports indicate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has effectively executed a "silent coup" or de facto takeover in Iran, sidelining President Masoud Pezeshkian's civilian administration. Following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and with his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, out of public view, the IRGC has tightened its grip on military and political decision-making, transforming Iran into a de facto military state.
Key Aspects of the IRGC Takeover:

• De Facto Control: The IRGC is reportedly managing daily operations through a council of military commanders.
• Sidelining the Executive: President Pezeshkian’s decisions and appointments are being blocked by the IRGC. For example, IRGC chief-commander Ahmad Vahidi blocked a new intelligence minister appointment.
• Wartime State: The IRGC is prioritizing military objectives over political concerns, following significant military setbacks.
• Ideological Shift: The IRGC represents a harder line than previous administrations, pushing for a "scorched earth" policy rather than political restraint.

This transition has created a "complete political deadlock," with the IRGC securing key areas of governance, such as oil, banking, and critical infrastructure, and managing the security perimeter in Tehran. The IRGC is now in charge, with civilian officials having little influence on current national strategy.

If they want scorched earth then they shall have scorched earth.

The IRGC will rule the ashes.

That sounds like Putin's Russia!

Dunno, but Iran's pres is useless fighting war. If they surrender, Jewmerica will just dismantle them and take them over.
