Iran’s armed forces are reportedly grappling with critical supply shortages as internal tensions rise within the military, sources say. The strain appears most pronounced between the Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Artesh) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two branches that operate under different command structures.
Analysts note that these structural differences can create friction, particularly during periods of heightened military activity. Reports indicate that some troops are struggling with shortages of ammunition and other essential supplies, putting additional pressure on Iran’s defence system as the conflict continues.
Unverified claims circulating online suggest that some soldiers may be abandoning posts, though major international news agencies have not confirmed these reports.
Military experts warn that if the supply shortages and internal disagreements are accurate, they could further complicate coordination between the Artesh and the IRGC, raising concerns over operational efficiency and readiness.
