A crisis is reportedly unfolding within the Iranian government regarding the recently reached ceasefire agreement with the United States. Former negotiation team member Mahmoud Nabavian alleged on Iranian state television that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued secret instructions to the negotiating team, which they allegedly overstepped their authority by not following. The interview was swiftly removed from broadcast. Reports suggest Khamenei imposed 11 conditions on negotiators, including refusing concessions in the Strait of Hormuz and demanding reparations from the U.S. These claims raise questions about the internal dynamics influencing Iran’s approach to the deal and the potential for further complications. The allegations center on a disagreement over the terms of the agreement and the extent of compromise acceptable to the Supreme Leader. This internal dispute casts doubt on the stability of the accord.
