Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that all military commanders and security institutions represented in Iran’s Supreme National Security Council support the ongoing negotiation process with the United States.
Speaking on Monday at an event marking the establishment of the Basij Professors Organization at the University of Tehran, Pezeshkian responded to criticism surrounding recent diplomatic efforts between Tehran and Washington.
“Everyone has signed off on this path. If anyone wants to create division, let them try,” the president said.
Pezeshkian explained that discussions within the Supreme National Security Council included senior military and security officials, among them commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian Army and the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.
According to the Iranian president, all participating institutions endorsed the decision to pursue negotiations and supported the government’s diplomatic approach.
He emphasized that the decision to engage in talks was reached through consensus within Iran’s highest security decision-making body.
The remarks come amid growing criticism from some hardline conservative factions following the circulation of a letter reportedly linked to Mojtaba Khamenei concerning the recent understanding reached between Iran and the United States.
Pezeshkian also highlighted the government’s support for Iran’s armed forces during the recent conflict, saying substantial financial and foreign currency resources had been allocated to military institutions.
His comments were made as Iranian and American delegations continue discussions in Switzerland aimed at implementing the recently announced memorandum of understanding and advancing negotiations toward a broader agreement.
The talks remain under close scrutiny both inside Iran and internationally, with supporters describing diplomacy as a path toward stability and critics questioning the potential long-term implications of any agreement.
From Nimruz TV’s perspective, Pezeshkian’s remarks appear aimed at demonstrating internal unity within Iran’s political and security establishment at a sensitive stage of negotiations. By publicly emphasizing support from military and security leaders, the government is seeking to counter claims that diplomacy lacks backing from influential power centers within the Islamic Republic.
