Araghchi faces backlash over US-Iran peace deal as protesters ... - WION
Critics in Iran have opposed the proposed agreement, arguing that it compromises national interests and gives away valuable leverage in the Strait of Hormuz.
A fresh political controversy has emerged in Iran after protesters gathered outside a Foreign Ministry office in the northeastern city of Mashhad, voicing opposition to comments made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi about a possible peace agreement with the United States.
The demonstration comes at a crucial moment as discussions over a potential US-Iran peace framework continue to attract attention across the region.
Araghchi's remarks, made during a televised interview, sparked criticism from hardline groups that oppose direct engagement with Washington and remain deeply sceptical of any agreement with the United States.
According to footage shared by Fars News Agency, protesters assembled outside the Foreign Ministry building in Mashhad on Saturday. Women dressed in black chadors were seen waving red and black flags while chanting slogans against the foreign minister, including "death to dishonourable Araghchi, the infiltrator".

Protests were reported outside the Foreign Ministry’s representative office in Mashhad against Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Demonstrators raised slogans including “Death to Araghchi,” accusing him of being a “dishonorable compromiser” and an “infiltrator” over his role in ongoing negotiations with the United States.
The protesters alleged that Araghchi and the Iranian negotiating team had conceded too much in discussions with Washington, claiming that the proposed agreement does not adequately safeguard Iran’s national interests. They further argued that the terms of the emerging deal reflect excessive concessions made to secure a peace settlement.
The demonstrations come at a sensitive diplomatic moment, as Iran and the United States are reportedly nearing the signing of a long-anticipated peace agreement aimed at de-escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Iran has indicated that a possible agreement with the United States could change how the strategic Strait of Hormuz is governed in the future, even as confusion continues over when any deal might actually be signed.

following a televised interview concerning a potential peace agreement with the United States. A video shared by the Fars news agency showed women clad in black chadors waving red and black flags while chanting, "Death to dishonourable Araghchi, the infiltrator," in front of the premises on Saturday.
The demonstration highlights growing domestic friction as the peace deal faces severe pushback from hardline Iranian political factions. Opponents of the agreement contend that the current terms undermine Tehran's strategic interests and would effectively strip Iran of its leverage over the critical maritime chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz. They have further alleged that Iranian negotiators made too many concessions to secure the deal.
