Where are Iran’s political parties on the US peace deal? | | US-Israel War on Iran News

Tehran, Iran Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is skeptical his country’s temporary alliance and the United States has strengthened the country’s political group, which opposes any agreement with Washington.

Iran’s new supreme leader appears to have handed over responsibility for the deal to President Masoud Pezeshkian, a relative, who is now under fire from a hard-line camp that believes war with the US could soon resume.

The agreement, which was signed by Pezeshkian and the US President, Donald Trump – through the mediation of Pakistan, Qatar and others – is also opposed by all political groups in Israel, which strengthen the military against Iran in order to weaken Tehran and its “axis of resistance” coalition, including the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

Here is a look at the internal negotiations in Iran since the signing of the memorandum of understanding, and how the various camps in Iran are shaping up.

What did Khamenei say?

Khamenei has not been seen or heard in public since succeeding his father, Ali Khamenei, as supreme leader in March, but his views have been clear on the Iran-US deal.

“I, as a matter of fact, had another idea,” in short, a statement written by Mojtaba Khamenei on Thursday, referring to the signing of the MoU with the US.

But it said it gave its consent “after clearly accepting responsibility” by President Pezeshkian, as head of the Supreme National Security Council.

“He made it clear that if the American side wants to make more demands, it will not give in,” Pezeshkian said. The statement said the upcoming negotiations “do not mean accepting the position of the enemy”.

Iran’s state-run media reported that Khamenei had also said that at least three-quarters of the members of the Security Council, including military chiefs, would approve the deal. Almost all members are believed to have voted for the deal, but the details of the vote have yet to be confirmed.

What do the authorities say?

The Supreme National Security Council issued a statement assuring Khamenei that he would uphold “the rights of the Iranian nation and the opposition” and honor the memory of Iranian leaders killed in the war with the US.

The council will continue negotiations with “total distrust” of the US and has drawn up retaliatory plans if the other side violates anything, it said.

Pezeshkian called the text “a historical document and a message from powerful Iran that peace will exist under the shadow of mutual respect”.

“This text shows the voice of a country that has not sold its honor and independence because of threats or pressure,” he wrote on X.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, parliament speaker and chief negotiator, thanked Khamenei for the “leading and wise message” and said that while the MoU included the gains made during the war in the negotiations, it was “the beginning of a difficult and winding road”.

Ghalibaf has re-cast himself as a “post-war economic chief” and has spoken openly about the need for electoral leaders during negotiations.

“I am not a person who sits without a decision and waits. I ask that the decision-making process be prepared for me so that I can make the right decision,” he said.

The Iranian authorities now have to “take the drain from the founders, stand up, and get people out of the financial crisis”, the official said. This comes as the war escalates Iran’s structural economy is there problems.

Why are brave people protesting?

Khamenei’s aides say Iran’s negotiators should continue to press for control of the Strait of Hormuz and withdraw from negotiations if the deal does not include this.

Government-sponsored rallies were held in Iranian citieswhich took place every night during the war, has seen the opposition of Pezeshkian, Ghalibaf and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi. These figures are considered to be part of the middle camp and are seen by the brave as an opportunity to grant permission to the US.

“Mr. President, if the conditions established by the great leader are not met, it will be us, your blade and throat. We will disappoint you,” Mohammad Ali Bakhshi, a government-backed maddah, or religious historian, said in Shahr-e Ray, which is close to the capital.

Mehdi Tabatabaei, an official in the president’s office, ordered that Bakhshi and other “dubious” people be prosecuted for inciting conflict between different political camps in Iran.

Some hard-line parliamentarians have called for the parliament, which has been closed since the start of the war, except for a few meetings, to be reopened in order to block any deal with the US, which harms Iran’s interests.

“Be fair and open the parliament, my great leader has been left alone,” Mohammad Mannan Raisi, a representative of the city of Qom, wrote on X.

In the Shia holy city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran, Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda, the leader of Friday prayers and representative of the supreme leader, said, “Our war is not over” with Washington.

“For 70 years, this system has treated us with crime, injustice, and merciless murder.” Do we have to go back?! former chief executive.

On Saturday morning, the first day of the working week in Iran, newspapers devoted their front pages to a message from Khamenei and the MoU.

Some conservative newspapers said that the agreement has been approved by the supreme leader, but with conditions, but there is a difficult way to make peace with the US.

The reformist newspaper Etemad described the memorandum of understanding as a “successful document”, reflecting the different views between the two sides on the still unconfirmed details of the agreement with the US.
