Protesters gathered in the Iranian city of Mashhad to voice strong opposition to a potential agreement between Iran and the United States. The demonstrations specifically targeted Abbas Araghchi, a Deputy Foreign Minister, with calls for his resignation and even his execution. Demonstrators labelled Araghchi “dishonorable” and accused him of being an “infiltrator” due to his consideration of signing an accord with former US President Donald Trump. The protests reflect deep-seated distrust of the US within certain segments of Iranian society. The intensity of the reaction highlights the sensitivity surrounding negotiations with Washington. No official response from the Iranian government has been reported regarding the protests or Araghchi’s position. The situation remains fluid and could potentially impact ongoing diplomatic efforts.
