A striking example of these internal rifts emerged on July 22 when <em>Keyhan<\/em>\u2014the mouthpiece of Khamenei\u2019s office\u2014launched a scathing attack on Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi over his televised interview with Fox News.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kayhan.ir\/fa\/news\/315026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In its editorial titled<\/a> <em>\u201cTrump&#8217;s Big Mistake After Begging for a Ceasefire,\u201d<\/em> <em>Keyhan<\/em> condemned Araghchi\u2019s remarks as weak and misguided, portraying them as a diplomatic blunder that undermined the regime\u2019s official narrative. The paper accused Araghchi of offering \u201ca plea for a ceasefire,\u201d framing his tone and content as unbefitting of the regime\u2019s supposedly defiant stance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The criticism centered on Araghchi\u2019s public acknowledgment of the extensive damage inflicted on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities by recent U.S. strikes and his expression of readiness to negotiate with Washington. According to <em>Keyhan<\/em>, these statements served only to embolden U.S. President Donald Trump, who cited Araghchi\u2019s remarks in subsequent public comments.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Khamenei?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Khamenei<\/a> Breaks Silence in Bid to Shore Up a Fractured Base After 12-Day War<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DB9Rw7kNJn\">https:\/\/t.co\/DB9Rw7kNJn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1945958437470470315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;On the morning of Tuesday, July 22, US President Donald Trump&#8230; once again, in a farcical show, threatened the Iranian government with targeting nuclear facilities again,\u201d <em>Keyhan<\/em> wrote, arguing that Trump\u2019s aggression was fueled by Araghchi\u2019s soft rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The newspaper also accused Araghchi of \u201clegitimizing enemy propaganda.\u201d &#8220;<em>In sensitive circumstances of psychological warfare and media battles,<\/em>&#8221; <em>Keyhan<\/em> warned, &#8220;<em>choosing the right platform becomes doubly important.<\/em>&#8221; The editorial expressed concern that some parts of Araghchi\u2019s message were misinterpreted or misused by the opposition due to a lack of media coordination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps the most controversial element of the criticism was <em>Keyhan<\/em>\u2019s attack on Araghchi\u2019s comments regarding Israel. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2lAvi-oiiYM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">During the interview<\/a>, Araghchi stated that the regime had never sought to assassinate foreign leaders and denied any policy to destroy Israel\u2014remarks that clashed directly with well-documented statements by the regime\u2019s top figures. <em>Keyhan<\/em> reminded readers that Ruhollah Khomeini, the regime\u2019s founder, had explicitly called for Israel to be &#8220;wiped off the map,&#8221; and that Khamenei has consistently reaffirmed this stance.
