A faction of hardliners in Iran has publicly criticized the nation's leadership, alleging that current policies and actions are weakening the country's revolutionary institutions. The criticism centers on the perceived sidelining of parliament and a disregard for directives from the supreme leader, particularly concerning negotiations with the United States.

According to these hardliners, the leadership's approach during talks with the U.S. deviates from established principles and the supreme leader's instructions. They argue that this undermines the very foundations upon which the Islamic Republic was built, raising concerns about the direction of the country's governance and foreign policy.

The hardliners' statements suggest a growing internal divide within Iran's political establishment. Their accusations, including claims of a potential coup, highlight a struggle for influence and ideological control, particularly as the nation navigates complex international relations and domestic challenges.
