Ayatollah Memecah Keheningan, Dalam Pesan Tertulis Memuji Hezbollah & Pemimpin Syiah Irak

Ayatollah Khamenei yang baru, lebih muda - yang mungkin terluka di awal serangan AS-Israel, belum terlihat dalam cara publik apa pun, bahkan di TV, selama perang. Tidak ada gambar resminya yang beredar baru-baru ini.

Tetapi Mojtaba Khamenei tampaknya telah mengeluarkan beberapa pernyataan tertulis terbatas, terutama mendorong proksi asing untuk bergabung dalam perang melawan pasukan AS dan Israel di kawasan itu. Media pemerintah telah mengindikasikan bahwa dia tidak membuat penampilan publik mengingat kampanye pengeboman tanpa henti yang sedang berlangsung dan posisi perang Republik Islam.
melalui PressTV

Setelah periode relatif hening yang panjang, pesan dari Khamenei dipublikasikan pada hari Senin. Dalam pesan yang diatribusikan kepadanya, dia "menyatakan apresiasinya kepada otoritas agama tertinggi (di Irak) dan rakyat Irak atas sikap mereka yang jelas terhadap agresi terhadap Iran dan dukungan mereka untuk negara kita," kata kantor berita ISNA Iran, mengacu pada Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani yang berbasis di Irak. Sistani berbasis di Irak dan lama menjadi ulama Syiah yang sangat dihormati di kawasan itu.

Khamenei yang berusia 56 tahun itu pada hari Rabu tampaknya memecah keheningannya lagi, kali ini memuji Hezbollah karena bergabung dalam perang melawan Israel. Hezbollah telah meluncurkan ratusan roket ke Israel utara dan tengah, di tengah kampanye darat yang muncul di Lebanon selatan, juga ketika Israel membombardir Beirut dari udara.

Dalam kata-kata baru yang dibawa oleh media pemerintah Iran, dia memuji Hezbollah karena "ketekunan, keteguhan, dan kesabaran" terhadap "musuh-musuh paling kejam dunia Islam."

Sementara itu, CIA dan Mossad dilaporkan sedang berusaha mengungkap keberadaan dan status Mojtaba Khamenei. Ayahnya yang berusia 86 tahun tampaknya tidak bersembunyi sama sekali ketika dia tewas dalam serangan udara pada hari pertama Operasi Epic Fury.

Penjelasan yang paling mungkin adalah bahwa Khamenei yang lebih muda sedang mengarahkan perang dari lingkungan yang jauh lebih aman dan tersembunyi, misalnya bunker bawah tanah yang dalam - atau di bagian terpencil negara. Parlemen Iran Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, melalui AFP

Tetapi beberapa analis telah mempertanyakan mengapa dia tidak membuat pidato video, bahkan jika direkam sebelumnya, menawarkan kepada dunia bukti bahwa dia masih hidup dan menjalankan negara dan perang. Mengenai pemimpin sehari-hari yang paling terlihat, ini adalah ketua parlemen Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

"This article conflates unverifiable speculation with fact and should not be treated as reliable intelligence on Iranian leadership status or intent."

This article contains multiple red flags that undermine its credibility as factual reporting. The premise—that an 86-year-old Supreme Leader was 'slain by airstrike on day one of Operation Epic Fury'—contradicts all verifiable reporting. Khamenei is documented alive as of early 2025. The article conflates speculation (underground bunker) with fact, attributes unverified claims to CIA/Mossad, and uses sensationalized framing ('new, younger Ayatollah') that suggests either fabrication or extremely unreliable sourcing. Written statements from Iranian leadership praising proxies during conflict are routine; the absence of video is not unusual for operational security. The core claim—that Iran's leadership is directing regional proxies—is plausible, but this article's evidentiary foundation is too compromised to anchor any market thesis.

Pendapat Kontra

If this article is based on leaked intelligence or credible but non-public sources, dismissing it outright risks missing genuine shifts in Iranian command structure or leadership incapacity that could destabilize regional proxy networks and energy markets.

"The shift from visible leadership to anonymous written directives indicates a collapse in institutional transparency that significantly raises the tail risk of a regional energy supply shock."

The transition of power to Mojtaba Khamenei, amidst a total blackout of visual confirmation, suggests a regime in extreme survival mode. By prioritizing written statements over video, the leadership is likely masking a fractured command structure or physical incapacitation. This 'bunker-state' governance increases the probability of erratic, high-risk military escalations as the regime attempts to project strength to its proxies—Hezbollah and Iraqi Shia militias—without exposing its actual vulnerability. For energy markets, this signals a sustained risk premium on Brent crude, as the inability to verify central authority heightens the chance of miscalculation in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting 20% of global oil transit.

Pendapat Kontra

The silence may be a calculated psychological operation designed to force Israel and the US to overextend their intelligence resources while the regime maintains operational continuity through established, decentralized military channels.

"At minimum, Iran’s attributed messages suggest continued proxy coordination, which reinforces tail-risk and supports higher geopolitical risk premia rather than de-escalation."

This is geopolitics, but it matters for risk pricing: Khamenei-linked messages praising Hezbollah and Iraq’s Shia leadership signal sustained alignment of Iran’s proxy strategy rather than a near-term de-escalation. The “hidden/underground” framing is also narrative-driven; if leadership continuity is uncertain, markets typically price higher tail risk (sudden escalation, wider targeting, tighter sanctions). What’s missing: whether these are truly authored by Khamenei/Mojtaba or selectively attributed by state media, and whether prior “silence” reflected health, operational security, or simple media constraints.

Pendapat Kontra

The content could be routine wartime messaging with little incremental signal for escalation, and leadership “absence” may be normal under wartime censorship rather than meaningful uncertainty. Also, proxy actions may drive markets more than who posted the quotes.

"Khamenei's messages confirm proxy persistence, locking in higher oil prices and defense budgets for 6-12 months."

Mojtaba Khamenei's written endorsements of Hezbollah and Iraq's Shia leaders signal Iran's intent to sustain proxy warfare despite leadership losses, prolonging Middle East conflict and embedding a structural risk premium in oil markets (e.g., Brent likely holds $90+/bbl amid Red Sea/Strait disruptions). This favors upstream energy (XOM, SLB) and defense (RTX, LMT) with multi-quarter tailwinds from elevated spending. Broader S&P at risk of 5-7% pullback on risk-off flows, but EM energy exporters (e.g., Saudi Aramco equiv.) gain. Omitted: Iran's economy already strained pre-war (inflation >40%, rial collapse), limiting proxy funding duration.

Pendapat Kontra

No video proof of life raises doubts Mojtaba is effectively leading, suggesting decapitated command could accelerate regime collapse and de-escalation, deflating the oil risk premium faster than expected.

"Iran's fiscal collapse, not military restraint, may be the real brake on proxy funding and the oil risk premium."

Grok's $90+/bbl thesis assumes sustained proxy escalation, but misses the economic constraint Claude flagged: Iran's rial is collapsing and inflation exceeds 40%. Funding proxy networks requires hard currency Iran doesn't have. If Mojtaba lacks legitimacy (no video proof), domestic pressure to cut foreign military spending could spike faster than oil markets price in. The risk premium may compress not from de-escalation, but from regime inability to sustain conflict—a deflationary shock, not inflationary.

"A regime focused on internal survival will likely de-escalate proxy conflicts to preserve domestic control, leading to a contraction in the oil risk premium."

Claude and Grok are missing the internal security trade-off. If the regime is indeed in 'survival mode,' they will prioritize domestic suppression over proxy funding, regardless of the rial's state. This shift could paradoxically stabilize energy prices if Tehran pivots toward internal focus. I disagree with Gemini’s 'erratic escalation' thesis; a weakened regime is more likely to pursue a quiet, defensive posture to prevent a domestic uprising, which would actually deflate current geopolitical risk premiums in crude.

"Political signaling about proxies is not the same as their operational capability, which determines whether oil risk premiums persist."

Grok’s energy/defense “tailwinds” hinge on the idea that proxy warfare continues, but neither he nor others quantify how sanctions enforcement and coalition targeting limit Iran’s ability to translate leadership messaging into actual strike capacity. A better risk lens is operational capability vs political signaling: written endorsements don’t equal logistics, ammunition, or ISR avoidance. If capability lags, oil risk premium can mean-revert even while propaganda stays loud.

"Proxy stockpiles decouple short-term Hezbollah firepower from Iran's current economic woes, sustaining oil risk premium."

ChatGPT flags logistics gaps astutely, but overlooks Hezbollah's massive pre-war stockpiles—estimated 150,000+ rockets smuggled over years, plus domestic production—allowing sustained barrages independent of fresh Iranian funding. Claude's rial/inflation bind limits duration, not immediacy; expect proxy fireworks to keep Brent's $90+ risk premium glued for Q3, juicing XOM yields and LMT orders even as Iran's wallet thins.
