U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Supreme Leader Mousavi plays a significant role in Iran's war strategy. Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian recently revealed a meeting with Mousavi, amid reports of Iran's successful recovery of missiles and the potential resilience of the Iranian economy under continued U.S. naval blockade. While he may contribute to negotiations for an end to the war through diplomacy, his actual decision-making role is likely separate from the process.
