A new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States has begun in Doha amid reports of growing divisions within Iran’s political establishment over a possible agreement with Washington.
According to the reports, President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration and several senior officials view a potential deal as a path toward reducing tensions and restoring economic and regional stability.
At the same time, a number of hardline political factions and conservative critics have opposed a possible agreement, describing it as a concession to the United States. In recent days, criticism has intensified among some political figures, state-affiliated media outlets, religious circles and groups linked to influential state institutions.
Reports have also circulated about a letter attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei claiming he held reservations about the proposed framework with Washington but ultimately agreed to allow negotiations to continue. No Iranian official has independently verified the authenticity of the reported letter.
The developments come as diplomatic talks between Tehran and Washington continue in Doha, with the outcome expected to have significant implications for bilateral relations and the broader security and political landscape of the Middle East.
