Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s nuclear policy has ignited a storm of internal conflict, as extremist lawmakers, clerics, and regime-aligned institutions turn on Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi over his recent deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Threats of impeachment, calls for NPT withdrawal, and even open advocacy of building a nuclear bomb expose the depth of factional rivalries and the contradictions at the heart of Tehran\u2019s nuclear strategy.<\/p>\n

Parliament Threats Against Araghchi<\/h3>\n

On September 12, 2025, Kamran Ghazanfari, an IRGC-linked MP, openly threatened to impeach<\/a> Araghchi unless he repudiated remarks by IAEA chief Rafael Grossi and disclosed the Cairo agreement text. Mohammadreza Mohseni-Sani, another lawmaker, went further, declaring Grossi and IAEA inspectors had \u201cno right\u201d to enter Iran<\/a> unless Europe first paid reparations for the Iran-Iraq war. He warned that if Europeans activated the \u201csnapback\u201d sanctions mechanism, parliament would push for Iran\u2019s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).<\/p>\n

Seventy-one lawmakers<\/a> simultaneously demanded an emergency session with Araghchi and the Supreme National Security Council, citing concerns about concessions that might endanger nuclear scientists or restrict “Iran\u2019s rights.\u201d IRGC-linked outlets such as Fars, Tasnim, and Kayhan portrayed this as \u201crevolutionary oversight,\u201d while revisionist-leaning media downplayed it, insisting Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf was already informed.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBasij of Professors\u201d escalated the campaign, rejecting any suspension of enrichment, direct talks with the United States, or expanded IAEA oversight. Their statements accused<\/a> advocates of such moves of undermining the Supreme Leader and the armed forces, showing how regime-controlled organizations are mobilized as political shock troops in the nuclear dispute.<\/p>\n
