The shift follows Rouhani's recent call ~ issued after the country's 12-day war with Israel (and later the US) ~urging transparency and ease of control in Iranian politics, particularly concerning foreign policy. His remarks were widely read as an implicit critique of Khamenei's leadership and prompted an immediate backlash from hardliners seeking to shape the post-Khamenei landscape.
