TIL that Ayatollah Khamenei built a secret organization called BAYT. This organization is more powerful than the government and employs 40,000 people. The goal was to make sure killing him is useless

For more than three decades, the Bayt-e Rahbari (also referred to as
the Bayt), has been the single most important entity in the Islamic Republic’s policymaking

Despite its centrality and frequent references by Iranian observers, there is
remarkably little public information about this secretive and complex
institution and relatively little scholarly attention to it.

Economically, the Bayt controls almost all aspects of Iran's
economy. Starting in 2003, the Bayt began to play an active political role in engineering election outcomes, not least facilitating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s rise to the presidency two years later

The Bayt has been intentionally organized and structured like a dark and tangled web, complex in design and opaque in its workings.

While some observers interpreted Khamenei’s limited
public presence after the 12-day war with Israel as a sign of a
looming power vacuum, in reality, it underscored something very
different. The Bayt ensures that the supreme leader’s dominance is not dependent on his physical presence.

This structure — layered, opaque, and entrenched — makes the Islamic Republic uniquely resilient to external and internal shocks. It's not Khamenei the man, but the Bayt as an institution, that provides durability and continuity.

For any meaningful change to occur in the Islamic Republic—including regime change—the Bayt and its apparatus must be significantly weakened

40,000 ? That's nothing! That's about the same amount of people that Amazon laid off since last year. But the important figure is that they layer off just 10% of their workforce. The other 90% of their robots are still going strong.

Why is it that "United Against Nuclear Iran" is the ONLY site on the internet to mention The Bayt? Both Fox and Twitter both link back to your site. Why no corroborating evidence?

For that matter, while your blurb above sounds menacing and sinister, what actually is it?

You're very heavy on the atmosphere and the doom peddling, but super light on any details as to why this is such a huge deal, and since this entire war is a massive lie with two shady governments wagging a dog as hard as they fucking can to distract from genocide and pedophilia, I'm gonna need more than just "cause we say so!"

You need a better search engine.

You know, if the President of this organization told me "We need to bomb Iran", I would not listen to him. Their goal is to stop Iran from obtaining nukes, by any means necessary. It's literally their name.

But that doesn't mean everything they publish is total non-sense.

They actually have very knowledgeable people who write interesting reports. You just need to keep a critical eye.

Like I'm not going to read The Heritage Foundation just because they might have an article that has some ground in reality, I'm not going to consume this content either.
