Iran's Hardliners Warn of 'Coup' as US Truce Faces Pressure

Hardline factions within Iran are voicing concerns about a potential 'coup' as a U.S.-brokered truce faces increasing pressure. This internal dissent was palpable even during solemn national events.

During the funeral procession for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, President Masoud Pezeshkian found himself surrounded by mourners. However, some of these black-clad attendees directed chants not of mourning, but of protest at him, shouting "death to the compromiser." This incident highlights the deep divisions and opposition Pezeshkian faces.

The article also points to Abbas Araghchi, Iran's chief diplomat who has been involved in sensitive negotiations. His mention in this context suggests he is operating under significant internal scrutiny and pressure, likely related to the ongoing diplomatic efforts and the truce itself. The situation indicates a precarious political environment for the current administration.
