Tensions within Iran's leadership have intensified as President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reportedly push for the removal of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Araghchi is accused of
bypassing the presidency to align with the IRGC's directives on nuclear negotiations, raising concerns about the influence of military authorities in sensitive diplomatic matters.
Sources indicate that Araghchi has been operating closely with IRGC chief Vahidi, allegedly implementing policies without keeping Pezeshkian informed.
In response, Pezeshkian has expressed to his associates that he will
consider firing Araghchi if these actions continue, suggesting
a significant rift in authority. This power struggle has left the President in a
complete political deadlock, with claims that he has been stripped of the authority to appoint replacements for officials killed during the ongoing conflict.
Notably, issues date back to March, when disagreements between Pezeshkian and Vahidi surfaced regarding conflict management and its effects on the economy, highlighting the growing complications in Iranian political dynamics.
As noted by Iran International,
Pezeshkian feels undermined by Araghchi's alignment with military commands during these delicate times, raising alarms about the future of Iran's diplomatic strategy.
