The press in Iran continues to engage in the exchange of men at the top of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence.
Even for the local press substitute Muhammad Kezemi is a pretty unfamiliar figure. Hajj Khatam - as he is known - has so far served in the Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Security Unit. This body is basically meant to oversee the intelligence activities of the outside guards and is subordinated directly to Supreme Leader Khamenei. Kezemi has not been interviewed by the Iranian media and the number of photos in the media is quite small, which increases the mystery surrounding him.
The conservative camp, which is aware of the blows Iran has suffered in recent months from Israel, is trying to convey to the public that the new appointment will lead to a turnaround in the confrontation with Israel. A newspaper affiliated with the conservative camp wrote today that Kezemi's appointment is a development of the first chapter in a "big event" that will soon turn the great fear in Israel into a "real phobia."
