There are factional disagreements within Iran among hardliners, pragmatists (such as supporters of President Pahlavikian’s reformists), and various security and military agencies. On March 7, Pahlavikian apologized to Gulf neighbors in a televised speech and promised to cease attacks (unless the attacks originate from these countries), but hours later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement warning that if hostile actions continue, they will respond with “overwhelming force” against U.S. and Israeli bases in the region. Subsequently, Pahlavikian’s office issued a clarification, omitting the initial apology.
Yesterday (March 12), the new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, did not appear publicly or deliver a live video address in his first major statement, but instead the state television broadcast the statement in written form.

Prediction market platform Kalshi has appealed a ruling by the state of Nevada banning its event contracts, and the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held oral arguments on April 17, but did not issue an immediate decision after the hearing. The core dispute in the case is whether Kalshi’s event contracts are “swap agreements” that fall under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), or whether they must be regulated by state-level activity under gambling licensing regimes. Multiple legal experts predict that the case may ultimately be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
