Hardline protesters across Iran staged demonstrations against a proposed peace agreement with the United States, targeting Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The protests came as US President Donald Trump and Pakistani officials suggested a framework agreement could be signed soon, though Tehran remained cautious about confirming a timeline. Demonstrators in Mashhad and other cities accused negotiators of making excessive concessions to Washington and weakening Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. Protesters chanted slogans demanding Araghchi’s resignation, while critics argued the proposed accord failed to adequately protect national interests. Iranian officials indicated negotiations remain ongoing despite mounting domestic opposition.
